I'm not surprised there's a difference; they're basically doing the
same thing, except one of them is paying trap-to-the-kernel overhead.

I'm surprised the difference is that great; a build of the world must
be doing a lot more floating-point than I realized.  Did you do
multiple runs to find out how the difference compares to the noise?
