I don't think this is a question of speed - both variants will have to switch to v86-mode and back. Int 16h,ah=01 is more simple to call than int 31h, ax=0300h, that's the main advantage I see.

To be sure, I just verified that calling int 2F, ax=1680h thru DPMI Int 31h, ax=0300h indeed works as expected with NTVDM.
