APS: better Hyperthreading ON or OFF on the machine?

Hi! We recently got some new servers, and IT asked if they should enable or disable Hyperthreading on them (which effectively doubles the number of cores available for simulation). In the past I've tried APS in servers both and without APS, and it seemed to me that the gain in number of cores available made it totally worth using Hyperthreading, in the context of large sweeps and/or Montecarlo simulations (which we do a lot). However I am unsure how much this penalizes the speed of single-run simulations (using APS).

I found an 8-year old post about this, and I am wondering if since then a clear position has developed on the advantages/disadvantages of using Hyperthreading for APS simulations (in particular, of ADCs). Does anybody have some opinion/experience/information on this?

Thanks and regards,

Jorge.
