And Ford could probably sell you two "exactly the same" Mustangs and one would be faster than the other - some machines work better than another would be my first point.
Second point - you state "almost equally patched" - so they are different - one of those patches may have made the OS utilize more/less memory, may have been quicker at releasing memory - and you can't tell if they are both in the same 'stage' of processing - maybe the amount of memory being used will be different (the other way around) at another time.
One may have more users conncected to the application that you are not seeing (especially if it's a Oracle/Sybase style app).
Each system is different - boot both at the same time and one may come up faster for no apparent reason.
The question you ask would be impossible to explain a 'reason' with the information provided - you are attempting to find a needle in a haystack.
Does the server with 'the problem' process the work in the time allowed? (if yes - stop worrying)
