 - Which scheduler have you configured (BSD or ULE)?

Running GENERIC/SMP kernels, with BSD scheduler.
Speaking of which; is there a way to extract the kernel configuration from a running kernel or kernel binary?

 - What do the interrupt statistics show?  Any interrupt
   storms?  Please check the mailing lists for a prior
   discussion on interrupt storms on some motherboards.

Slow system:

No significant differences I'd say. Anything else I can do to dig deeper?

 - Could you post the dmesg output from the systems (I
   presume there aren't any significant differences).

dmesg from slow system follows. I do not have a dmesg for the fast system; I cannot boot it now either. However, I have compared them before, and they are 100% equal. Seems to be very close in serial numbers, probably same production run.
