I wondered this myself. The fast machine is a centrino laptop, so it has the intel video (810?). The slow machine has this according to lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x] (rev a4) I would think the nvidia, though old, is still better than intel, but I could be wrong. Both machines have enough RAM to not matter (neither are using swap). The FSB on the slow machine is 400 MHz. I don't know what the centrino machine is. The humongous difference in processor cache is still the most suspicious to me. 2MB versus 128K is just ridiculous.
