Well, the RULE project was started just to find out this, ie how to tune a Red Hat install to make the system faster. I am very interested in what you noticed. Without looking at your machines, I'd assume that at least part of the problem is a combination of: 1) pure hardware differences, from different hard disk speeds to different video cards leading to differently optimized. You should try to install exactly the two configurations on the same machine to know what's happening 2) The more complete install leading to some weird combination of window manager and multy-byte fonts support that the other system has not. Why don't you compare the top output on the two machines, as well as the output of "rpm -qa" and the locale settings? Let us know!
