I took me a while to migrate my E-Mail setup from Qubes-OS 4.0.4 to
my fresh install of Qubes-OS 4.1.0
Below you find the edited output of my `qubes-hcl-report`:

    Qubes 4.0.4 hyper threading was disabled.

Peter Funk:

     The performance in Qubes-OS was not as good as in Ubuntu. I had to

You're probably aware, but Smt=off is the default for security reasons, I believe.
