The gain from HT for doing large builds has been 20% at most. Daily usage is indistinguishable, as you say.

  HT really only benefits you if you spend a lot of time waiting on IO. E.g. file serving where you're waiting on slow spinning disks.

    IO wait happens on OS kernel level, not on CPU level. RAM fetch latency is what happens on CPU level.
