Unless you're selecting from multiple database tables in one query,
effective_cache_size shouldn't make any difference.  There's
probably some other reason for the difference.
 
A couple wild shots in the dark:
 
Any chance the source files were cached the second time, but not the
first?
 
Do you have a large checkpoint_segments setting, and did the second
run without a new initdb?
