I'd be surprised if it did, but now that you mention it, I think that we should probably mention more often that CentOS's default performance policy is power-saving, which will cut maximum performance in half. Every physical system running CentOS should have run "tuned-adm profile throughput-performance". http://jperrin.org/centos/boosting-centos-server-performance/
