try riding in a single gear (approximating your single speed set-up) and see if you are indeed faster just by riding in a single gear. The way your bike is set-up now you have a choice.
Personally, I seem to keep a more consistent cadence on my Dahon S1 than on the geared Fridays. Riding the Fridays in a single gear would likely result in a similar outcome.
