Do you have readahead properly set up on the new one?

  # blockdev --getra /dev/sdb1
256

It's probably this. 256 is way too low to saturate your I/O system.
Pump it up. I've found 8192 works nice for a system I have, 32000 I
guess could work too.

But again ... the two systems are identical.  This can't explain it.


Maybe check all sysctl's are the same - in particular:

vm.zone_reclaim_mode

has a tendency to set itself to 1 on newer hardware, which will reduce performance of database style workloads.
