Just got our first board to play around with and unlike in the past,
having hyperthreading enabled seems to help performance.... At least
in buildworld tests.
doing a make -j4 vs -j6 make -j8 vs -j10 gives
-j buildworld time % improvement over -j4
4 13:57
6 12:11 13%
8 11:32 18%
10 11:43 17%
dmesg below of the hardware... The CPU seems to run fairly cool, but
the board has a lot of nasty hot heatsinks
eg. running 8 burnP6 procs
