CPU time for Solve under v.2.0 and 2.1

Dear mma users,

here's an example of strange v.2.1 behavior when I try to solve
a matrix equation using the Solve command on my Mac IIci + a Tokamac 68040
board.

As we see, the same program below gives very different CPU time !!!
A bad part is that the v.2.1 gives 5 times longer CPU time !!!!!

Any comments are really welcome.
