There is an intresting article about Intel's new "Hyperthreading" in the
actual iX Magazin. (heise-Verlag).

In short it says that you can only get a speed improvement if the two
threads do not use the same processor-
execution units (e.g. the floating-point-unit / or the ALU etc.
If thats the case there are even speed-reduces cause the difrent threads
block themselves from memory access.
