Something else - onboard processor cache. Does the SA1110 have one? Is it enabled on the iPAQ? On the J720? How large? Is it on the X-Scale? same questions -enabled? size?
Remember how horrid the initial Celeron chips were sans cache? Once they added a cache to the 2nd generation, they were only slightly slower than their Pentium II/III counterparts in most things.
