The reference to slower Windows performance is based largely on the rendering times. Memory supplied to 3DS when shelled out of Windows may come from the swap file on the hard disk. Without Windows loaded, the same rendering might not use the disk and thus be faster. Also, there are some limits about graphics resolution and color depth that you might run into while shelling out from Windows that you wouldn't encounter in a DOS environment.
