Different route time when running local vs web api

Running graphhopper locally returns a different drive time for the same route vs the public API.

For example, this route shows 2 hours 35 minutes using the public API.

This drive time is consistent with google maps & bing routing.

Running the same locally returns 3 hours and 7 minutes for the same route and distance
http://localhost:8989/maps/?point=34.1396%2C-90.9841_34.1396%2C+-90.9841&point=34.1901%2C-92.0199_34.1901%2C+-92.0199&profile=car&layer=OpenStreetMap

Is there another engine or other parameters I can tweak to improve the drive duration? I’ve looked through the documentation for config-example.yml and haven’t found anything. Thanks

Read more about it here.

You can change the car.json to tweak priorities and speeds.
