I read on the main project's page that HT should be off and CPU supporting AVX instructions is recommended.

Are you able to tell how much longer it would take to crunch one task with HT on?

2 times longer

But that's because it get 2 times more tasks in! In my experience, there hasn't been much difference for me with or without HT. I feel that turning HT on/off is WAY TOO HARD on OEMs.
