This doesn't make a lot of sense to me as in both cases the very first collation it tries is the one it is returning. So you're getting a very optimized spellcheck in both cases. But it does have to issue both queries 2 times: the first time, it tries the user's main query anding there are not enough hits, it then tries the collation query to see how many hits that will return. Could it be that these two queries just are less/more expensive and that difference gets magnified by running each twice?

Our search query also queries other fields, not just spellcheck and therefore does not give a good representation of Qtime. We use groupings in the search query. For Chocolate Factory, I get a search QTime of 198ms For Pursuit Happyness, I get a search QTime of 318ms Would appreciate your insights.
