Hello,
Does anyone know if the performance of Mapserver is increased if
hyper-threading is enabled? If so how much?

Hey Mark,
What sort of usage are we talking? Web hosting? Shapefiles and arials?
I'm not sure if mapserver itself will use mult-threads, but if you
have multiple requests comming into a website, apache/cgi/mapserver/etc
will use multi process/threads/etc.
Its tough to say the performance increase. I'm host several maps on a
dual-core box, and the cpu's sit around 2 percent. And with lots of
arial imagery you might hit disk io limit before you hit cpu limit.
(However, I have had some mrsid files that were really cpu intensive to
uncompress, they were cpu bound). Are your cpu's even pegged?
So, I guess, the answer is, it really depends on a lot of different
variables.
