I ran the same scene through my newly built 3.2GHz P4 last night and it took 50 seconds... 9 seconds slower than your dualie - and, bear in mind, I've overclocked the P4 to 3.68Ghz. At 3.2GHz it was taking 58 seconds.
I then ran the scene on my old 1.2GHz P4 and it took 2m46s ... almost 8x slower!!!
I love being in the FAST club! 
That'll do donkey... that'll do...
