It is not wise to use tests using an apple to make decisions regarding 
what will happen with an orange.

I don't think that your conclusion that performance on your rather old 
T1 8 core CPU is "poor" compared to this recent vintage 4 core Xeon is 
well justified.  It has done rather well given the huge difference in 
clock rates and the foundary process used to manufacture the chips.
