I now know what made the difference (but still can't believe it!!!).
Before I was running with the mains adapter only whereas the battery
was removed. If the battery is inserted and the adapter is connected
the runtime decreases "dramatically" even on my MacBook.
Battery INSERTED:
indexGenerator(0.08,0.15,30,100): 10.242
indexGenerator(0.08,0.15,30,1000): 100.875
Battery REMOVED:
indexGenerator(0.08,0.15,30,100): 19.779
indexGenerator(0.08,0.15,30,1000): 197.375
Would anyone have expected that? Sorry, but me I wouldn't.
Yes, if your energy settings are to save battery as I said in the
original reply. You can choose which mode you want to use (from
battery saving to best performance - and you can even create a custom
mode), so it's up to you whether you want battery life or fast
benchmarks ;). Note that the settings are customizable for both batter
and adapter power.
Cheers,
Simon

There's nothing special about my code (I guess), but here it is.
I have a 1 year old iMac 2 Ghz. The
indexGenerator(0.08,0.15,30,1000) call takes about 121s in . For
comparison I ran the Windows version under Parallels and it also
takes about 120s.
I think you have a sick MacBook, look for a benchmarking program
(maybe geekBench) and compare against others, or contact your Apple
dealer and see what they suggest.
