What happens if you run top? Look at things like %idle, %waiting (for i.o), and %sys (kernel executing) and %user (your program, likely the ffmpeg program, see the listing for that line). This may tell you where the bottle-neck is. For example, did the two systems uses the same mount options for the filesystem? Are other daemons running that are interrupting the process?
