Hyperthreading affect temp?????

Ok... someone's gonna have to help me with this one. I've been working on my computer temps - trying to tweak my system so that I get the best out of it. Everywhere I've looked I've heard that Hyperthreading will only work for certain programs and OS (WinXP to be exact). Now, I'm not a big fan of XP - especially with all that nonsense about Activation Codes and updating your system (which I like to do A LOT). So I'm running Win 2K, right - and I have hyperthreading disabled in BIOS. But for the heck of it (and because I saw that someone on the net had similar results) I enabled hyperthreading. I noticed a HUGE temperature difference of almost 10 degrees cooler!!! What's the deal here? Now, I don't really care that hyperthreading might supposedly slow my system slightly - I don't see much difference actually. Help me understand, though, how enabling hyperthreading has cooled my system, please! Thanks all!
 
yea, it should run hotter becasue more of the cpu is being used, kinda the opposite of it runs colder when less is being used, get the picture?
