My measures with i7 and povray (Linux): the HT-core is worth only 20
to 25% percent of a real core. At least for benchmark scene.

The compiler also play a significant role, and the intensive memory
access of a scene might too (if you are lucking enough for your parsed
scene to fit in the L3 cache of the CPU, big win): remember, despite
the number of cores, there is only one bus to reach the RAM.
