"while your statement on how your graphics card is not supported by the
proprietary nvidia drivers in linux-lts-trusty was noticed, I'm not
seeing evidence to this"

Try building it then.

So far so good. I haven't seen this happen for a good while now. I've
upgraded to Trusty today. I'll leave this to expire and reopen if it
does reppear.

Title:
  Hyperthreading not always detected

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  From a cold boot (power off --> power on), this system doesn't always
  detect the presence of Hyperthreading on the processor. Note: warm
  reboot has very different problems so cannot be tested.

  It *usually* does, but on occasion for no obvious reason the system
  reports a single CPU (HT systems report two CPUs to increase
  performance).

  Despite all the articles claiming the opposite; this noticeably
  reduces performance of the system, especially in multi-threaded
  applications such as Google Chrome (in the case of Chrome the
  difference in response is considerable!)

  linux-lts-trusty is NOT an option as it is incompatible with my
  graphics drivers (no longer supported).
