How many times did you run the test?  Could it have been cached in host B, but not C?  
What about disk performance? 
Maybe one is ATA66 or 100, and tthe other is not?  Host C may only be UDMA33, and 
possibly have a slow drive, with a
lower amount of memory for caching.  Did you rebuild kernels on any of them?
