Actually, I _can_ think of one possible reason for this difference:
compiler optimizations.  If the 24.3.50.1 binary was compiled without
optimizations, it can definitely be about 2 times slower than an
optimized build of 24.3.1.  What is the value of system-configuration
and system-configuration-options in both builds?
