It's probably the CD drive.  We have 5 'identical' machines in a 
teaching room at work, one of which was noticeably slower then the rest 
when the CD was being used.  Another simply refused to read some CDs, 
but when it could read them it was as fast as the rest. I've moved the 
drives around the machines and the problem follows the CD drives.
