Not frequently, but having to do it just once can be real pain. I have nearly 200 Pentium IV blades here. Would you enjoy getting onto the KVM console of each one individually to configure HyperThreading? HyperThreading is the one thing where we *do* want to changeit quite frequently. For some applications, such as MySQL servers, HyperThreading helps. For others it doesn't, so you want to be able to configure this automatically, without having to mess about with KVM consoles.
