Hi all,

sysctl machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=0
(sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1)

What actually do this ? (sysctl machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=0)

From this PR (kern/83406) it seems that if you want full performance
you need machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=0 and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0
or machdep.cpu_idle_hlt=1 and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1, and others combination drop performance ..

Am I getting it right ?
And if yes why by default HT is disable, but machdep.cpu_idle_hlt is enabled ?

I'm little confused :)

Try disabling hyperthreading on the 6.2-server. In some cases you get
a moderate performance-increase, in most cases this setting is
counter-productive.

Claus
