Question on kernel compiling and hyper threading

[Leslie Jensen]

I'n on a system with the CPU specs you see below.

I'm planning to update the system to 7.0 and want to ask about the 
enabeling or disablening of hyper threading in BIOS.

What I've seen on my current system is that when I enable hyper 
threading my cpu-graph only shows up to 50% in gkrelm and xfce's cpu graph.

Should I compile the kernel with special parameters or is it just the 
inability of gkrelm and xfce's cpu graph to detect hyper threading I'm 
seeing?
