On 14.04, I found that the threads were allocated to cores 0, 1, 5, 6 - that is, two were running on the two hyper-threads 1 and 5 of the same core, and performance was 30% less than expected. I can get around this with explicit taskset commands, but for my use case it's a serious regression from 12.04. I am not willing to disable hyperthreading, because it gives a large performance boost on other things I do on the same machine.
