hyper threading and memory usage

[Nathan England]

I just got a hyperthreaded computer and I'm noticing that it doesn't handle 
memory as well as my other machines.
I haven't been doing anything different, infact I ghosted my hdd to the new 
machine, so everything is identicle, except I built the kernel for SMP.
It only has 512MB right now, but so do my other machines that do about the 
same amount of work. 

The only difference I notice is the HT'd machine will begin swapping much 
faster than the other machines. Then it gets really slow.

I'm not a big fan of HT to begin with as I'd rather have dual-core or just 
dual cpu, but is this typical? Or is something wrong?
