You should benchmark your processors, it may well be that your Cyrix processor has a significantly faster microcode, or possibly a larger internal cache: either of these could conceivably do it..

I tried the exact same code (after being compiled on the machine) on all three machines. And when there are multiple programs like that running, 1% each makes a difference, and that was 1% for my code base, others use 2-3% more cpu.
