So there was a factor of 10 in it which I why I noticed I guess.
You may want to drill down the timing differences using:
MessageTally spyOn: [ .... ] or TimeProfileBrowser spyOn: [ ... ]
This will give you detailed breakup of time spent in message sends and the memory stress.
Squeak and Pharo images are much bigger than Cuis so they may take up a larger portion of the memory resulting in frequent calls to GC. If you notice a difference in GC calls, you may want to repeat the trials with larger memory for the larger images.
