The reason for this is that you have already run 'apt-get update' which
downloads _all_ the information. (Not only what you need but all
information about all the packages available)

It's not exactly surprising that it's faster to access files that are
already present on local harddisk than files that must be downloaded
over the network.

We are looking at ways of making this faster.
