In many cases Hyperthreading (virtually 2 CPUs while being physically 1 single CPU core) can improve the operation speed. If running several applications in parallel you can have the feeling that applications react more smoothly. On the other hand I remember reports where active Hyperthreading reduced the CPU operation speed over all. So it depends on what you are doing in specific with your system.
