Contention for the memory bus is the biggest performance hit on $current_year CPUs and aside from that, the biggest performance bottlenecks for Pleroma are, in order, disk I/O and network I/O. The CPUs on the box mostly sit idle, meaning that more hardware threads wouldn't accomplish anything but heating the machine up.

I suspect that it's faster with less NUMA-wrangling, but have not benchmarked it. I just know that on this workload, I could probably disable half the physical cores and still have no trouble.

I don't know what that'd have to do with a hardware feature on a machine that runs Linux and a handful of VMs.
