I recall Tim Mangan writing about this too: Intel had stated that hyperthreading's performance advantages would show once threaded software became available, but it appears that in some cases the opposite is true.

With both SQL Server and Citrix Terminal Server installations, HT-enabled motherboards show markedly degraded performance under heavy load. Disabling HT restores expected levels, according to reports from within the IT industry.
