Hyperthreading has been supported by Linux (and other unix variant
like FreeBSD) for almost as long as hyperthreading has existed...

With Hyperthreading, it still adds a virtual CPU so it would be still
the same... except this time the way linux reports makes it incorrect
as the load is heaps greater than 55%.

As for the percentage.
Say you have two CPU.
One process uses 100% of one CPU, the other 10%. The average load of
the system is 55%
