This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison, and application bit size doesn't really have any bearing.

ArcGIS Server is a 64-bit application, but there are a number of factors that come into play:

* The geoprocessing job needs to be queued, then taken off the queue
* There may not be a started service available
* The scratch workspace associated with the job needs to be created
* The CPU class of the server is likely different from the desktop
* The disk characteristics on the server is likely different from the desktop

You can add Verbose level logging to your app to break out the timing of the elements of the job, but logging can increase runtime, so that can be a two-edged sword.
