MYSQL 5.5 Performance issue

Our database has 4 years data and most of the time users will be working only on current year data so we decided to partition our large tables.
So we took one table with 104 million rows. This table has a column named 'period' which represents billing period and it is a foriegn key and have indexes.
Copied the original table to a temp table and partitioned the temp table using period column as partition key and created the same indexes which are in original table.
Now i have 2 partitions and 1st partition has 3 years data and 2nd partition has current years data.
The 2nd partition has 8 million rows which is what i am trying to query.


I have a slower query which queries from this large table and join other smaller tables.
This table has index on the field used in where clause.
I ran this query using original table (which is not partitioned) which took 24 seconds for first time and took 12 seconds 2nd time .
Same Query i ran using this temp table (partitioned) which almost took 25 seconds for first time and subsequent runs took same 25 second time.
I also looked at the query plan it is scanning only the current year partition.

How is it possible the partition table is taking more time than the original table. Also i don't have query cache enabled but the query second run is always faster.

When i set the query-cache-type=0 the original table took 35 mins to retrieve the results however the partition table ran in 25 sec.
