why BWA-0.6.2 is slower than 0.5.9

Hi
I am not a bioinformatics guy so I am not very familiar with sequence alignment tools. However, when I run BWA-0.6.2 and 0.5.9 to map same set of reads to same genome, I found the former is much slower than the latter. The options are all the same. I am very confused now. Could anyone tell me the reason? I will appreciate a lot.

How much slower ?

Thank you very much for your attention.
It's about 3 times slower. The genome is Escherichia coli.
