Switching performance is depending on the capabilities of the device's switch chip. There might be differences in available features, but the switching throughput ist not depending on ROS vs SwOS.
There are some ROS only devices with switch chips not providing l2hw for bridges, so the CPU has to handle the switching/bridiging. Those devices have less switching performance. But again, this is a HW limitiation.
