A client has some complex simulation/modelling software which runs (a) 
much faster and (b) without bogus results with HT disabled. The software 
vendor says the bogus results are due to their code, not HT itself, but 
HT exposes a flaw in their design. Since the application also runs much 
faster with HT disabled, there's no downside to it in that application 
at least.
