I'm assuming that in all cases, your resources are all running on the node
that you're stopping or putting into standby mode. Otherwise, it could be a
matter of "having to do work" versus "not having to do work."

With that said, it could be that the node that's acting as DC is slower to
stop or start resources than the non-DC node, because the scheduler and
controller daemons have to do more work there. Or it could simply be that
there are non-cluster-related workload differences between the two VMs.
