Does OS affect Performance?

Alright, so aside from the fact that i've struggled with getting Dolphin to run in OS X (which i'm still working on, if there is a sure-fire way to get it to let me know) I've dual booted my macbook pro to win7 and it runs dolphin quite well.

Having said that, it does get a little slow when there is a larger amount of activity onscreen (grass in wind waker).

My question is this: If i were to boot to winXP instead of win7 would this affect my performance? I noticed that the "fullscreen" mode isn't really a true change-the-resolution-and-encompass-the-whole-screen fullscreen mode, merely just a maximized window. I throttled down my "windows experience" to windows basic to avoid my gpu handling the transparency and such, i was just wondering if I benefited at all from going to XP, or win2000 even.

or is it worth it to try to get it to work natively in os x? (where i think OS-based graphic dependencies would be even more intense)

please advise,

specs:
Macbook Pro (late 2009) running snow leopard and win7
2.26GHZ intel C2D @ 1.07 Buss
2 GB ddr3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB on 13" model

Latest build of Dolphin
