Yes. Quite normal. The two different methods use two different types of autofocus. AF with live view is the slower of the two.

If you want to speed it up in live view then use "Quick Mode" focusing. This method drops the mirror and focuses using the same method of focusing as in viewfinder focusing.

You could try reading pages 160-165 of the manual.
