My PPDs seem a bit low. Is my configuration sub-optimal?

Looking around at some of the other threads in the new donors forum, I get a bit jealous looking at the high PPD's reported by other members with hardware similar to mine. My PPD's seem a bit low in comparison, have I done something wrong? I'm folding primarily on 2 machines, both are working basically 24/7 though I do pause F@H when I need them for other work.
Machine 1: Ubuntu 14.04
Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6Ghz, 4 cores (8 virtual), 32Gb RAM, SSD
GPU folding disabled as the card isn't quite fast enough to complete WUs
2 slots, one configured for 2 cores, the other for 6
PPD: ~2500
Machine 2: Windows 8.1
Intel i5 3300 @ 3.0Ghz, 2 cores (4 virtual), 8Gb RAM, SSD
NVidia GTX 760 GPU
1 CPU slot set to "medium" (effectively this uses 2 cores, leaving 1 for GPU. CPU usage is around 75% on this machine when folding)
PPD: ~11000
2k seems a bit low for the Linux machine with an 8-core i7 CPU, and regarding the Windows machine I've seen similar people folding with NVidia 7xx cards that are getting 100k-200k PPD. Have I misconfigured my slots somehow?
