Firmware versions are equal. BIOS settings are equal.
However, a diff of the dmesgs show (apart from MAC address differences):

< Timecounter "ACPI-safe" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000
---
Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000

What on earth is that all about? The "slow" box has the ACPI-fast
timecounter...

Could be ACPI bugs on your system:

Yes, but the other system is 100% equal - hardware, bios config, bios and
bootblock revision, controller bioses, etc. etc.
It all matches.

Clearly they're not 100% equal, but (100-epsilon)%.  Your job is to
identify the origin of the epsilon :-)

Yea yea ;) Working on it..
Is there a way to force ACPI-safe on the slower system?

Should I complain to HP?

If you think you'll get anywhere, it might be worth pursuing.
