Does ksp/unity support hyperthreading?

Slightly different from the normal "why no 64 bit" threads.

Hyperthreading really shines when doing phyics or AI calculations. Does unity support it? I was wondering because my laptop (that has just died) only had a lowly 1.7ghz i7 but it had HT and always seemed to fair well with larger part counts?

Nope. Unity doesn't support hyperthreading. I think 1,7 GHz is not a slow one and I7 is quad core, so you probably didn't have OS running on the same core as KSP, resulting in higher speeds.

Nope. Unity doesn't support hyperthreading.

Ahh thats a shame, oh well.

Well, it sort of does. The physics thread is, if I recall properly, a separate thread to everything else... but it currently doesn't do more than that -- the physics is confined to a single thread.

From what I have understood it does support it but not for physics which is what we really need it for.
