The results with hyperthreading enabled are devastating. Performance drop across the board, except in 3d rendering software. No wonder Intel is postponing Hyperthreading for desktop until the next core revision. If you notice the server application results, these are from their tests. The source is "Intel Mircoprocessor Software Labs", not their own, "hands on" tests.

You must have missed the review infoworld did on hyperthreading. It showed some very impressive performance improvements and it was essentially free. True, it's not ready for desktop like you said but it will eventually be.
