</span>it is due to *everything*: clock rate, memory speed, memory<br>
architecture, processor architecture, processor cache size, disk<br>
caching efficiency, availability of SIMD instructions, compiler,<br>
libraries.<br>
the speed difference you quote seems quite normal for comparing a<br>
single core on current hardware versus 8 year old hardware.<br>
