CTAS question

Hello All,
 I had a very basic question regarding CTAS Vs select

One of our queries takes about 7 min to complete but if i convert that
query to write to a table using CTAS, it takes 25 sec.

Could someone please tell me how come CTAS is able to select from query
and create a table in 25 sec while just the query alone takes 7 min to
execute..

Thanks,

Sat
