Disk performance is very sensitive to activity and to location especially if you have all the system on one disk. So if they put both OS's on the same disk at once and always put one OS on the outside of the disc, that would give numbers of that nature. Equally if Fedora has soem crappy background app that keeps writing little bits of pointless data to the disk every second that'll do the job nicely too. Or it could be the I/O scheduler tunings I guess. Over-aggressive power management is another possibility. You'd have to duplicate their results, then work back removing variables until you found it.
