I wonder if both the stuttering and the improved performance from disabling SMT is related to a trick that Valve uses in gamemode where they treat the CPU at 8c/8t instead of 4c/8t?
Valve claim that they got better performance with the 8c/8t configuration but I wonder if the opposite is true for native Linux software that is generally CPU-bottlenecked (which is the exact opposite of the usual Windows software running through Proton that is typically GPU-bottlenecked).
