Minecarts half as fast as console edition

I just got the free bedrock edition of Minecraft and converted a map from the console version. It contains a very long section of track connecting my main castle to a village far away. The track is built of regular rails with powered rails every 8 blocks, or more powered rails if there's an incline or a curve. The rails are powered by redstone torches placed directly beside them on the track.

I timed how long it took to travel from my castle to the village on the console edition, and it took somewhere around two and a half minutes. When I rode the track in the new bedrock edition, it was noticeably slower, so I timed it again. In the bedrock version, the same journey over the same track takes approx. 5 minutes. This is twice as long as before. Either the bedrock edition is too slow, or the console edition was way too fast.
