Why ohh why..

I have an old RedHat 6.2 box with 2.4.2 kernel and an IDE disk. When I 
'wc' a file of about 100,000 text lines
it take under a second.

On my new RH 8.0 box with 2.4.18-14 kernel and SCSI disk it takes three 
seconds.

This is bizzare. Yes they are under the same load etc etc.  They are 
both mounted with
noatime / nodirtime.  What on earth is going on???

Any help most appreciated.
