Try running single command that is different on different machines under
valgrind (callgrind) on these machines and see that at least number of 
instructions
executed is the same.

Lzo2 documentation says that there are a lot of algorithms implemented.
It might be choosing the algorithm based on the CPU and the choice it's 
making might be bad.
