Nothing about INTERSECT requires it to produce ordered output. Nothing about the JOIN case makes it not possible to produce ordered output by accident. You'll want to re-measure with an ORDER BY added. In any case, this is quite interesting. Many uses of JOIN are not merely to filter results, but to construct joined result rows -- such uses of JOIN cannot be optimized by using INTERSECT. But for filter-uses of JOIN... this might be a useful optimization for the engine to learn.
