Unfortunately without -S, you're not really testing the processors. A 
regular pgbench can fluctuate a more than that due to writing and 
checkpoints.

For what it's worth, our X5675's perform about 40-50% better with HT 
enabled. Not the 2x you might expect by doubling the amount of 
"processors", but it definitely didn't make things worse.
