Comment(by axeld):

 It boots from a full Haiku installation, and also serves as a live CD, and
 therefore needs a complete set of files.

 You did not mention the Celeron in your bug report at first. Can you
 provide a syslog output of a CD boot with the Celeron? Most interesting
 would be if the following line is part of it:
 {{{
 scsi_cd: Using IOSchedulerSimple instead of IOCache to avoid memory
 allocation issues
 }}}

 Because that would explain the situation (remember, there comes a lot more
 software with Haiku than comes with BeOS). Now, 1 GB of RAM should really
 be enough to use the cache, I would guess, at least (which would also not
 completely relieve the disc from seeking).

 Also, did you use the ISO or anyboot image? The latter is known to be
 slower, especially without the cache.
