Concur about HT. Switch it off in BIOS, it's just a great big overhead in general (for me anyway).

I'm getting similar results. Performance on this build is smoother. Maybe I'm noticing the framerate drop more over cities, due to the game running smoother. Before, everything was j-j-jerk-o-vision at low alts and difficult to pin down what was actually going on.

Up close to planes is much smoother. Particle effects cause less slowdown (but still noticeable). Trees seem toxic on this version though.
