I can't speak to specifics, but I do know that upstream put a lot of
effort into parring down what is in EL6. Their goal was to simplify and
streamline support, and to allow them to focus on a smaller subset of
tools to improve the support on those components still in the new release.

If I were to guess, I would say that this clean-up and slim down did a
lot to improve the performance, as well as reduce the supported code
base to such a degree that they could more effectively improve quality
and performance.

My $0.02 guess.
