There are a lot of reasons why it may be different. As Guillermo notes, it could be a caching issue. It could also be an issue with cache fusion, since using the scan listener you could be connecting to a different node. There are many reasons why the times could be different. Remember the listener just hands off the connection request to the database, so you are really measuring query performance on the database no matter how you are connecting. You might try looking at the instance you are connected to prior to running the query each time.
