PERFORMANCE STUFF DELETED FOR BREVITY

No, it's likely that your desktop has much faster CPU cores than your
server, and it has drives that may or may not be obeying fsync
commands.  Your server, OTOH, has more cores, so it's likely to do
better under a real load.  And assuming it has more disks on a better
controller it will also do better under heavier loads.

So how are the disks setup anyway?
