Before suggesting that you write a bug report, let's verify that you are really comparing apples to apples. For each setup, please provide
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sync%';
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'innodb%; -- if you are using InnoDB

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%buffer%';
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%log%';
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'query_cache%';
SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Qc%';
