I can't stay I notice this discrepancy in actual game play day after day though.
I personally would be looking at memory available as the cause. In general you want to make sure you have plenty free as any excessive swapping causes performance loss. You can test this yourself by trying a game with 1gb free memory and then trying the game again with only enough to fit the games memory requirements (or even force it over). The difference will be easily noticeable.
