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.
