Three immediate things come to mind:
1. One had relations in file or shared buffer cache, the other didn't
2. One is running ext4 versus ext3 and when you end up spilling to disk
when you over run work_mem, the ext4 machine is faster, but without
knowing which machine is which it is a bit tough to diagnose.
3. You didn't run ANALYZE on one of the machines
