You optimized the kernel to the processor, thus insuring that the compiler will be producing different code based on this optimization strategy. Since the desired result is to know how long it takes for a particular processor to compile the SAME code, setting the kernel optimization level is not valid. It would be much more indicative of true system speed if the compile target is identical. As such, please re-run the test, and have the kernel optimization set to I386, and keep motherboard specific stuff out of the equation. This will give us a better indication of actual system speed in an A vs B environment.
Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art.
