hyperthreaded CPUs always show 50% load when they are under full load for a single threaded application, only when both logical cores are in use will you ever see usage over 50%
Okay, that's one of the things I was wondering about. I wasn't sure if it was able to allocate different amounts of processing power (ie 60-40, 70-30). So in that respect, hyperthreading brings with it the downfalls of a multiprocessor system along with the advantages.
