Errm - are you sure the OS isn't counting cycles in the "virtual" processor as well as the real one? If you're getting reasonable iteration times (similar to those on the benchmarks page - well actually they should be a bit better if you're using the current version of prime95) then your system is working OK. If you really are getting only half the cycles then your iteration time will be about 2x those on the benchmarks page. Alternatively temporarily disable HTT in the BIOS & see how much your iteration time changes. Even so you should probably leave HTT on since it should improve interactive response when Prime95 is running in the background.
