does this mean it will perform better on the steamdeck?

No, not really. It may, but it doesn't necessarily. WINE + Proton doesn't really have a performance impact, so it's not worse than running native usually. Either one could be more performant I think, depending on the situation.

to some degree a bigger deal would be if the download was smaller.
