What happens if you either:
1. disable HT in the bios

Intel says i5-2400 has no HT:
Processor Number i5-2400
# of Cores 4
# of Threads 4

and BIOS has no HT disable knob

Ahh yes of course.


2. limit the threads to 4?

ffmpeg -threads 4 (sched_ule):

real    3m19.379s (with -threads 0 was 2m52.711s)
user    6m50.107s (with -threads 0 was 6m50.310s)
sys     0m1.507s

top -H:
CPU:  0.0% user, 55.8% nice,  0.4% system,  0.0% interrupt, 43.8% idle
Mem: 136M Active, 884M Inact, 498M Wired, 84K Cache, 409M Buf, 2339M Free

That seems to be using 6 threads not 4, what about -threads 2?
