I was wondering, Will Prime95 be optimized to take advantage of simultanous multithreading processors? Perhaps some part of the FFT computation can be done with multiple threads, so a SMT processor could devote more power to one while the other is waiting on memory or something. I don't know the details of FFTs; if they're a completely serial process I may sound really silly. SMT will provide a performance boost to Prime95 anyways, as other system activity will impact idle threads less, of course.
