Is your commute flat or hilly? I have a 10 mile commute which includes just under 600ft of climbing; I've done it on one of my mountain bikes a couple of times, and there is a huge difference between that and the road bikes I normally ride, certainly more than 5 minutes.
The road bike's quicker all round, but especially on climbs and descents.
