Ditto, i wish i could turn my HT off to get more clocks, but my mobo won't let me+^_^+ i found alternatives though+^_^+
(P.S. turning off cores via MSConfig turns off a physical core before shutting off the second HT thread)

Disabling HT will give no improvement infact you will loose 1 or 2 fps (I already tested the theory with dolphin and pcsx2 in cpu intensive games) [At least in first gen i7's]
Disabled it does help reduce temps though so you could OC higher with it off, I leave mine on no loss no gain so I'm ok with it, plus it helps reduce compiling time in vs.

I agree about AVX, it definitely helps FPS. Is there any chance it will get better? (Because then I will be able to enjoy large fights without lag )
there's a few scenes in Xenosaga that drop to 30-35 FPS, most notably is when KOS-MOS is introducing herself in the beginning of EP-1 and the camera pans out, that's where i do my benchmarking with new SVNs, the new AVX support almost added 10FPS to that scene for me+^_^+ almost everything else in Xenosaga 1-2 seem fine (cept mechs)+^_^+
