Note that the granularity of the performance counters in EXPLAIN and in
psql have a very bad resolution on Win32 in 8.0.1. The EXPLAIN counters
has been fixed for 8.1, not sure if it'll be backpatched to 8.0.2.

What are you getting your time values from? If it's based on either of
these it's entirely possible that the speed difference is completely
inside the margin of error. Also, you are not likely to be very
CPU-bound for a simple query like that.
