I think the major reason is the cluster used by the two sites. By cluster I mean, the processor speed and number of calculations per second the online judge can perform. Spoj uses a much faster cluster “CUBE” than codechef which probably uses “PYRAMID”. I have also seen the difference in time limit for the AC solutions on spoj and codechef… AC solutions on spoj are always much faster than the AC solutions in codechef.
