I think this is to be expected -- in the former case, any changes to the
active region will set the primary selection, and (if I remember how
this works in X; I may be misremembering) this means that Emacs has to
communicate this to the X server -- which takes time, depending on how
fast your connection is.
So I don't think there's a bug here, and I'm closing this bug report.
