Time to save mat file differs by MATLAB version

I am using MATLAB version 7.12.0.0635 (R2011a). We deploy a medium size software package that allows the user to save their project. When I save a project it takes about 5 min. Using the profiler I isolated the bottleneck to the save command. If I use the '-v7.3' switch, saving the project only takes 1 minute. I didn't see anything in the documentation that would explain this. Any ideas?

Usually save -v6 is faster, because it does not compress the data - there seem to be some rare exceptions. v7.3 is required for data > 2GB. How large is your file usinge the different formats?
