Confusion about nthread and ncore [message #89726]

Hi All
It has always been confusing to me how IDL handles nthread and ncores.
I have an i7 which has 4 physical cores and 8 threads.
Matlab recognizes i7 as 4 cores and uses 4 threads. IDL recognizes i7 as 8 threads.
In my opinion, in a computation-heavy program, 4 threads should be used instead of 8, because using 8 threads actually slows down the program.
Is this correct?
