Different hardware.

7.4 is running on a 500MHz computer with 256M compared to 8.1 running on
a 2.6GHz with 512M.

The only notable config variables on that machine (the rest are logging):

commit_delay = 10000

checkpoint_segments = 10
checkpoint_warning = 300

insert times:

Time: 63.756 ms
INSERT 13584074 1
Time: 46.465 ms
INSERT 13584075 1
Time: 70.518 ms
INSERT 13584077 1
Time: 59.864 ms
INSERT 13584078 1
Time: 35.984 ms

Tons of difference :/
