Have you looked at network traffic for the duration? And/or disk i/o on each system? If you ran a backup once and then immediately after and that's the 'fast' case then you may be seeing performance be better due to a lot of data being in the filesystem cache. pg_basebackup being single-threaded probably doesn't help here either, you might want to consider one of the parallel-backup options.
