I have a mystery for you folks.  Consider this situation:

a Compaq Prolinea 575 (75mhz Pentium)
24mb ram
3gb of "oldish" Seagate Disk on a Buslogic 946C

and a

Micron P90 Powerstation,
64mb ram
Adaptec 2940
And a brand new Connor drive

IOZONE rates disk access for the two systems at virtually the same (+- fudge)
IOMem gives the compaq 10mb/7mb while its 10mb/20mb on the Micron

Doing a time make of a specific configuration (kernel build) takes 9:30 on the
Micron, but on the Compaq its only 8:30.  Same exact config/source (brand new
2.0.5-A installs).  Nothing else is going on on either boxes.

Can anyone explain this to me?
