With my old P4 (single core) HT restricted my AI to 64/2 with the ocasional xrun, HT off would allow solid 16/2 performance. My new i5 does not have HT, so I am not able to compare.+1 for testing + measuring. Anyway. In most cases the CPU is not the limiting factor. In the vast majority of cases some power-saving (bus-freq, southbridge, SMI) or weird graphics-cards, wifi, etc and/or their drivers are orders of magnitude more limiting. 2c, robin And then there's design efforts like the Liquorix project; and also CPU-optimized kernels. I have recently been compiling CPU-optimized versions of Liquorix kernels...yum :-) --
