Can a PC be faster in one location than other??

I made a weird observation today. I took a friend's PC that I'd
been working on for 2 weeks from the city, to the country, 45 minutes
away. Without having changed a single setting, when I set it up at his
place, the entire system was much faster than what I saw an hour prior
at the city location. At least 150% faster, with EVERYTHING, not just
the net. At first I couldn't explain it, but I have what may be a plausible
theory. But I'd like to see if others have experienced this phenomenon and
can say what it's based on?

Any differences in location should be negligable (except for internet
connection, that is).

There are ideal temperatures that the electronics should perform at, but
it's doubtful you would notice any difference (unless it overheats).

Maybe it was just in dire need of a reboot?

Or maybe grass is always greener, yada yada.

They weren't. So don't tell me I didn't experience what I did fool, simply
because you have no ****ing clue on earth as to what it can be attributed
to.

The only thing doubtful here is the fact that you have any knowledge about
anything at all, clueless wonder.

Or maybe you are in dire need of growing a brain, nitwit.

Maybe the grass you smoke, yada yada.

I don't smoke weed or take any drugs whatsoever. But I'll bet you like
smoking dick, ass bandit.

How special. One utter and complete imbecile patting the back of another.
You two must get together and butt heads to decide who gets to lick the
other's asshole.

I didn't say you didn't perceive a notable change in performance. I'm
simply stating that simple change in location -- given all else is equal
-- doesn't noticably change a computer's performance. The phenomena was
due to another variable that you're overlooking.

You asked the question; we answered it. No need to get belligerent
because it's not the answer you wanted.
