I was expecting it was common knowledge at this point, it's nothing new, it's even in the Ardour manual and the rtcqs utility checks. You can find references in this forum going back to at least 2009.
It seems it's just that some people take this this for granted, while for some people it's still news. 
I'm using these aliases since 2021, and I got back to music production at the end of 2020:
Code:
alias smton='echo on | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control'alias smtoff='echo off | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control'Keep in mind that doing that you lose some cores and on some system/setups can lead to worse performance.
All that said, yes, it's worth a try, especially when you are in the situation where you have heavy DSP load or want a stabler load.
