If the hardware is identical, then the slowness is coming from somewhere else - maybe the software? Do you have the same types of OSes and programs installed on each?

Also, since this is the server community, it'll help to know which server boards you're running these on. Sometimes a BIOS or other firmware will be outdated, and causing slowness.
