Sorry if I'm completely OT, but did you try to TURN OFFF hyperthreading 
on your I7?
After some reading around, trying to figure out why the I7 I was 
validating for our equipments wasn't as fast as I would have expected, I 
discovered that HT, unless you have an application specially designed 
for HT (i.e. almost no application in the world), dramatically increases 
the amount of cache misses, providing as a result a performance loss 
instead of a performance gain!
I just disabled HT from BIOS, and the poor 10ms of my benchmark became 5ms!
Of course it depends on applications, but it's worth a try.
Just my 2 c
