You previously confirmed that short loop tests show that there is no significant speed difference. And BEEP indicates that the system clock is normal. So the machine IS NOT slower.

Don't assume your machine is slower, check why you have longer execution time on this machine.

You have an advantage over me: you have your machine in front of you to experiment. I only had my brain to elaborate a solution to this enigma :-)
