The difference is that saving the whole image is a longer operation that just saving a couple records when they are directed to do so. In a image with little activity this difference can be almost null but in a heavy accessed image with a lot of data being created, the difference in times is notorious. Also, the image save is blocking AFAIK and during image saving the responsiveness is greatly diminished.
