Are you running the same version on each machine? There was a discussion
recently where the first thousand inserts were very fast, the next
thousand fast, the next thousand acceptable... until it grinds to a halt.
I think it was patched before 7.1RC1 - check the list archives for
details on the discussion.
Oh - you don't have constraints on the one but not the other, do you?
