Well, it's a bit old kernel, nice processors anyway.
What about the memory ? (size, speed, number of slots, repartition

Yes, 10 minutes render is turning too fast. Increasing the size of
the render image (doubling each dimension) might push it back in the
40 minutes zone. (which would still provide a 6 minutes for 8
processor).
