anyone with a p4 HT machine ever see anything from cpu1?

[Jonathan Horne]

i have smp support compiled into my kernel, an still, i never see anything on 
the HT'd cpu.  i realize that most ppl believe that the HT portion of the 
technology was just a bunch of smoke blown up our butts by intel, but windows 
sure loves to bounce that extra cpu graph around a lot.  below is just a snip 
of my top window, but as far down as i can stretch my 1280x1024 screen, its 
all "cpu 0" processes, even while compiling.

dmesg shows that freebsd sees the other cpu...

so is the SMP portion of the technology as worthless as 'they' say?
