are those other instances running?  if they have significant shared
memory allocations, your 12GB of ram could be significantly blocked up,
so the new install may have ended up doing a lot of paging.

also, your configuration file says this system has a single 1TB drive?
thats a weak storage configuration for a database server, especially if
its a 7200rpm or less SATA drive.
