Ok. So clear and final word here.

HT on will have the OS (windows) show any program that it has 12 threads to work with. Period. Right??   Why would AE discern against it if the os doesn't even determine which threads are "originals" versus "virtuals"?

In my experience of CS5, AE just uses the Threads equally. No Delineation of whether they are virtual or not.  The performance is a little slower than if you had 12 true cores, but it's not nearly as slow as only 6 true cores.

Is this correct in Cs6 or have they removed this. I'll be sad if they have, as it actually is a faster render.

I don't care about the ray tracing engine at this point. So I'll only be using AE in a similar way as previous versions. I want my HT to be worth it!
