I wonder if this may be attributable to the difference between a CPU bound versus an IO bound workload? I imagine CVS is doing a fair amount of IO, which on a laptop with local disk (and no competing workloads driving IO) may be able to handle pretty effectively.

There were no competing workload and no virtualization on the AIX either. We didn't need it (yet) for other things.
