HTT is "almost there" but it still has constraints on execution that do not exist
if running on true SMP environment. One can catch most race conditions with
HTT though and additionally, in threaded environment, actually in many cases
derive performance benefits from it. 

Specially when running X, there are mostly two applications active, 
the client and server and having two execution units without the need for 
context switches gives the experience "smoothness".
