Default Electric ovens take longer than gas ovens

I've seen it discussed that electric ovens take more time than a gas oven does
to cook a casserole, pie, roast, etc. My experience is that it is true. The
reason given is that the gas flame burns up the oxygen faster, or some such
theory. I don't know if this is the right reason, but having cooked both both
electricity and gas, I can tell you that in an electric oven always takes about
10 minutes longer.
This includes the assumption that both ovens were properly pre-heated. It is
particularly clear when baking a pie, --pumpkin, pecan, lemon, etc.

Any experts out there?
