To answer that question we must define "doing what". Moving windows? Rendering fonts in Word documents with tons of text?
For example when it came to games it looks like it didnt matter much Re: Your opinion on the ATi Rage IIC and Rage Pro

Highly doubt that. GUI was very polished in w95, up to hand optimized assembly where it made sense. One way someone could make above conclusion would be using driver employing hardware blitting on NT, but falling back to software path on W9x.
