I am not sure rawhide kernels can be compared with official release
ones, as they usually carry debugging stuff which may ( or may not ;)
) justify that difference.

I also have to note they do not state what "spin" they used for the
Ubuntu counterpart; if it was the liveCD, we are comparing apples and
oranges
