I discussed hyperthreading with a few friends the other day -- I pointed out that it was probably only useful for CPU-bound tasks, like we've discussed here earlier. But then somebody said each HT `virtual CPU' had their own part of the bus, so it would definitely help with I/O bound (RAM I/O, of course, not disk I/O) programs as well... Could this be true, or is this just misinformation?
