The only way to know is by measurement, ideally with some specific performance counter which tells you what went on in that last timeslice. But if this is a big issue, you can always disable HT, as lots of people did the last time around.
I think measurement, both of total system throughput and individual VM throughput, is the final word on all designs. I certainly plan on testing and comparing throughput for a variety of workloads as I develop the scheduler. And I encourage anyone with the time and inclination to try to find workloads for which the scheduler performs poorly as new features (such as the proposed HT scheduling) are introduced. :-)
