I'm also wondering the same thing.
My fast machine is a Pentium 2 clocking at 348 Mhz with 192 Mb RAM
The Celeron slowpoke clocks at 701 and sports 512 Mb RAM
DMA is on on both.

Did you install the binary nvidia drivers on one of them? X performance
looks a lot snappier using these drivers instead of the nv driver from
xorg.
You can also check with hdparm if ultradma is enabled for the disk in
the celeron. If it's not the machine will react a lot slower since the
cpu is tied up by the disk i/o...
