Actually, no. It CAN slow down a computer in very specific circumstances. In general, computers get a small speed boost, which can become huge (again) in specifc instances.
I've seen the difference with my own eyes, on two systems, with the only difference being the HT being on or off. Opening a huge powerpoint presentation and showing the slides took ages on the computer without HT, and was finished within seconds on the computer with HT. Yes, this is one of those specific instances where it works *very* well.
