Yes, since you're effectively comparing apples and oranges.  XDvi 
doesn't do rotated text, because that relies on TeX \specials which XDvi 
doesn't support.  But that's OK, since that's not what you should be 
comparing to PDF output.  For a fair comparison, run dvips on the .dvi 
output and look at that.
