I don't know if you already considered this, but those cache sizes provide differing number of blocks.

Assuming that 8192 refers to 8192M:

4k block
(8192 x 2^20) / (4 x 2^10) = 2097152 blocks

8k block
(8192 x 2^20) / (8 x 2^10) = 1048576 blocks

The cache for your new tablespace is providing half as many blocks as the default cache.

And as others have already stated, blocks sizes are not a tuning device.
