: If these are similar systems doing similar workloads, there's

: which could be enough to explain the variance.
Actually, these two cases are similiar machines but the first has one processor
and the second two. That's probably the difference you're seeing here. They
are running the same kernel revision except one is compiled for SMP.
: Neither is swapping significantly, so memory doesn't seem to be the
: bottleneck.
That's good.
: Next step is to run iostat or equivalent during a peak period.
I don't seem to have iostat on my machine. What's a good replacement?
