Do you have bgwriter on and what's the parameters? I read a theory somewhere
that bgwriter scan a large portion of memory and cause L1/L2 thrushing, so
with HT on, the other backends sharing the physical processor with it also
get thrashed ... So try to turn bgwriter off or turn HT off see what's the
difference.
