Odd Speed Issue with choose folder

Hey Folks,

Does anyone know why method 1 is noticeably faster than the others?

# Fastest of these methods:
tell application "SystemUIServer"
choose folder
end tell

# choose folder

# tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
# choose folder
# end tell

It's not an enormous difference, but it's noticeable.

At first I thought this was related to Default Folder, because DF doesn't show up in method 1 but does show up in methods 2 & 3.

However – quitting Default Folder does not change the fact that method 1 is faster.

Best Regards,
Chris
