Ok the subject line is misleading.. but I don't know how else to put it. I have a machine on which SOME programs are slow. VERY SLOW. Other programs run just fine. I cannot seem to find the source of the problem.

Machine 1 (the ok machine) is running 6.2-RELEASE-pLATEST.  It is a
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (1862.11-MHz K8-class CPU)

Machine 2 (the slow machine) is running 6.2-RELEASE-pLATEST.  It is a
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6320 @ 1.86GHz (1876.00-MHz K8-class CPU)

Both are compiled with the exact same CFLAGS/COPTFLAGS (though it doesn't matter WHAT I compile it with, its still SLOW on many operations, thou fine on others).

For example:

Machine 1:
dd bs=22 if=X11-lib32.tar.bz2 | cat >/dev/null
2571071+1 records in
2571071+1 records out
56563575 bytes transferred in 23.048543 secs (2454106 bytes/sec)

Machine 2:
dd bs=22 if=X11-lib32.tar.bz2 | cat >/dev/null
2571071+1 records in
2571071+1 records out
56563575 bytes transferred in 24.052331 secs (2351688 bytes/sec)

Machine 1:
openssl speed

Machine 2:

Machine 1:

Machine 2:

Yes... you read that right... almost 400 _TIMES_ slower.  WTF..

Where should I be looking?
