    Is it possible that the old apache install had additional modules
    loaded to compress the output? I think its called mod_gzip in 1.3.
    I'm more familiar with apache 2. That would make pages load "faster"
    in the sense that less bandwith is required by the client and
    server. It would use more cpu and may not scale as well in terms of
    total responses.

    Also, you said the mysql database hasn't changed and that you were on
    a virtual server. Was the mysql database on the virtual server?
    There might be more latency to your database. Are you using a
    compressed or uncompressed mysql protocol?
