Yeah I don't think so either. The idea behind hyperthreading is that you take two threads and mesh the instructions together in such a way that you make the processor more efficient.. when the actual instruction execution part of the core is stalled or not busy, the processor grabs instructions from the other thread it has assigned to it and executes them. Gives it something to do with its downtime.
But because a benchmark is basically testing the pure performance of the CPU I doubt there's much to be gained.
