Is your new server running i386 or x86_64 Linux?
If it's running x86_64, that's the problem. Running i386 Linux allows
your CPU to use a “Virtual86” mode, while x86_64 Linux requires that the
whole thing be emulated in software which obviously takes more
horsepower and therefore runs more slowly.
I had a hunch that x86_64 might create problems and since the server is
not supposed to need more then 1GB of RAM, I decided to use i386:
# uname -a
Linux dossrv3 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-12-15 23:55:40
+0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
