Guildwars2 does not utilize HyperThreading?

I have seen some issues with people having various hyperthreading and multicore problems in some programs, some claim that “unparking” the cores actually will help improve certain issues such as stuttering and other FPS related issues. Windows 7 by default will not allow all cores and threads to run simultaneously, even if you have your power settings set to full performance, the cores will go off and on according to usage, but unparking the cores lets them be on all at once. If you go into resource monitor you can see if your cores are parked and see the activity flip flopping between threads and cores while parking and unparking the cores.
Results seem to be mixed, some people saying that it does absolutely nothing, others saying it improves by various degrees. I have tried it and not noticed any improvement, in any programs, but i also haven’t had any serious FPS issues in any programs.
