I've been delving a little deeper into this and certianly have a saner
implementation for both Linux and users of Cygwin.
A couple of notes in that regard:
1. The 'ht' flag indicates that the processor has that ability, not that
it allows you to turn it on (or that it is turned on). It's not us

Point taken on the configurability.
I think a strong argument can be made for the number of cores as being the
default for cpu_num.
However, it's also quite sensible to have the other two measures: number
of physical CPUs,
and number of virtual CPUs (what gmond currently reports).
How about, i
I want to bring attention to Bugzilla item 84 -- a patch submitted to fix
improper reporting
of cpu_num on hyperthreaded Intel processors.
The patch causes it to report the number of CPU cores rather than the
number of virtual
CPUs.
