Difference in flight time AMS-NBO

I am wondering why it is scheduled to take 9:25 to fly from AMS to NBO in a B763, but the return trip will only take 8:15 in a B744.
Do the aircrafts have that different cruise speed or are they slowing down on the outbound leg, because the schedule allows it thus saving fuel and give the pax an extra hour of sleep.
