Are you telling me there's no performance penalty when running Windows apps in, what, emulation?
Correct: there is no performance penalty when you run Windows (apps) natively (Bootcamp) on a Mac. Quite the contrary in fact: Windows runs faster on Macs than it does on PCs! In benchmark tests the MacBook Pro is acknowledged as "the fastest Windows running laptop on the market"...
