You want the NumCPU to be set to 2. You have two physical cpus.
The way the linux kernel interprets the HT part looks like 2
more cpus, but in reality, the kernel scheduler knows you only have 2,
not 4.
I suggest setting it to 2 and seeing if performance improves for
you. Hopefully, empirical research on a sample size of one
system avoids a lengthy thread about HT vs. real cpus.
