I documented this in the wiki running on my Intel I7 machine, but the MUCH lower performance low end Athlon (by about 200X!) is giving very similar results. The Athlon was simply chosen as the cheapest CPU on th e market last month (US$64) and has proven to be quite adequate for 10 regions.

Why would most scripts make that much difference unless they are still all getting a huge amount of memory?  Is the script engine that bad?  Does it have to be?    Since not that many things are usually moving about to collide it seems a bit odd that that would so much difference either.   How are these things validated?
