I have felt the same, that's why I repeated the test twice.

Really? Are the compiler options, etc, public?

Actually I did not compare -- But both of them were 4.3 (RHEL 4.3 and
CentOS 4.3). I'm assuming that they have the same package versions,
right?

BTW, they were stock 4.3 -- no updates, etc.

I hope I will be able to publish only the graphs, so that community will
take a look what is going on.
