Sam,
Sorry to disagree, but HT does not work for NONMEM. The multiple instruction paths
on the Intel chips include only one for floating point operations, and 4 for integer
operations. We have benchmarked NONMEM with and without HT, and it makes no difference,
and makes no difference in responsiveness of the GUI. HT is basically intended for gamers
