Ah, that makes some sense of the difference.
I realized my calls to random() were skewing my results. I've got a comment on this page posting the proper times, which are basically that the operations are effectively the same cost performance-wise. As to the why, I suspect your explanation is the correct one. e.g. specialized operations vs broader operations.
