Simple. They are different machibes. They run different programs in the
background that close at different sppeds. THe CPU and memory may be
different sppeds. You can't expect to machines to act exactly the same.
Not even if they have the exact same hardware and software. The are mnnay
variables that can affest things. 18 seconds is nothing to worrry about.
