If you're looking for a firm yes-or-no answer, you will need to provide a
LOT more information. A small sample of the EXACT code you're running that
demonstrates the most difference between the two versions and details about
the format of the files you're reading would help greatly.

Keep in mind that hardware review sites, like Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.com/
generally benchmark different pieces of computer hardware against half a
dozen different computer programs or applications -- and sometimes a
processor that blows all its competitors out of the water running a
graphics-intensive game will suffer greatly running a word processing
program, for example. One data point, or information just about the hardware
side of the equation, does not a firm conclusion allow.
