Looks like it's the non-standard eval:

library(microbenchmark)
iris1 <- iris[sample(1:nrow(iris), 1e4, replace = T), ] 

microbenchmark(
  melt = reshape2::melt(iris1,id.vars="Species"), 
  gather = tidyr::gather(iris1, variable, value, -Species),
  gather_ = tidyr::gather_(iris1, quote(variable), quote(value), c("Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length", "Petal.Width"))
)

Unit: milliseconds
    expr  min   lq median   uq   max neval
    melt 2.41 2.66   3.15 4.87 52.49   100
  gather 3.97 4.98   6.40 6.82  8.41   100
 gather_ 2.43 2.67   3.07 4.94 51.42   100
