I have observed that typing a query into the address bar takes significantly long to resolve than entering it into the search bar, why? Is there a way to resolve?

When you type a single word query in the location bar then Firefox will first try to resolve it as a website URL by sending some DNS requests (xxx.com and www.xxx.com) and only do the search when this fails.
Easiest would be to use a keyword search for searching via the location bar.
You can use Manage Search Engines in the search bar to add a keyword to an installed search engine.

That is fine and dandy, but I would like a technical answer; I'm curios as to why?

Both IE 11 and Chrome are almost instantaneous; granted they do not have a search bar. This is the only thing keeping me from moving back to Firefox (I'm a Chrome user).
