In order for you to have valid claims - the installs of all distros
MUST be the same. 

So what's in  one distro must be in all the others - 
This means, you will either have to weed out the extra within Ubuntu or
add what's missing in the other distros.

Once you have that - then you can create a valid claim.
Untill then, simply saying that distro A runs faster on this hardware
compared to disto B without ensureing that each distro has hwhat the
other has. 

Heck - if that's how things are compared, I can certainly say that
Windows 3.1 runs faster then 95 and maybe even say WindowsNT runs
faster then Windows2000 however, that would not be a valid comparison.

Compare item by item then we'll talk
