There are some things that stick out to me.
Total Movement:
Cura = 1046 meters
Creality = 496 meters
Lines of Code:
Cura = 1,389,549
Creality = 650,014
Filament Used (these are from my slices):
Cura = 11.11m
Creality = 9.91m
File Size (also from my slices):
Cura = 23,481kb
Creality = 17,730kb
Looking at those numbers, I think the comparison is between apples and oranges. The Cura file has twice as many lines of gcode as the Creality file and is moving twice as far.
What I'm really curious about is where the extra 1.2m of filament went? That's an additional 36 METERS of extrusion distance. The slug just doesn't seem that big.

Wow - that "gcode analyser" is very cool. Never saw that before. Did you put the correct values in for acceleration and jerk and such? I think you can get those values possibly out of the menu system on the creality? Is it accurate for your printer? I find that these time estimates can be off by 2X because you may have the wrong value somewhere.
Anyway the slower print has twice as many retractions - that is the key difference I think. Did you play with "combing"? combing will reduce retractions and save time. I guess I would concentrate on the retractions. There are many settings that affect retractions.
