[haiku-appserver] what is special about the T40p?!?

Hi guys,

my boss has borrowed me his IBM T40p. I know there are a couple of you who 
own such a machine. What might be special about it?!? The Haiku app_server 
feels like it is running about 10 times as fast as on my other, much faster 
computer which has an ATI graphics board as well. I know this is the 
chipset (M6) that the radeon driver has been originally written for, IIRC, 
but I doubt this is the reason. Is it using RAM for graphics memory? Is 
there something special about the first generation centrino CPUs that makes 
Haiku's scheduler like them? What is it? The difference is like night and 
day!

Best regards,
-Stephan
