According to this trace, about all of the time seems to be spent
waiting for the client's reply (i.e. no computing power is wasted by
the server).  You did not provide too many details, so I have to
guess: did you experiment with both servers under exactly the same
conditions -- same client host and software, same server host?  Your
client for this experiment seems to have been s_client, which does not
disable Nagle's algorithm (IIRC); this can cause significant delays.
