Yes, those results are quite suspicious. There's probably something
interfering with the queries (other queries, different processes, block
cleanout, ...) or maybe this is purely due to caching.

sridhar, run the queries repeatedly and my quess is the difference will
disappear (and the fist query will be a bit faster I guess).
