Are you saying you are comparing two completely different systems (one of the of the differences being the kernel version) and you then conclude that it must be due to the kernel version? It could just as well be due to different cache layout in the CPUs or some other variable. Or that the top speed of the cores on one system is different. To minimize the variables please test again, but do it on the same system with the only difference being the version of the kernel. So boot the system with kernel A, do the test, then boot with kernel B and to exactly the same test. /Ole
