I would guess that it is connected to the changes made to get rid of the distortions at high zoom levels. I noticed that these changes had a quite high impact on rotation performance of larger molecules. With small molecules Jmol 10.2.0 is still fast enough that you don't notice the difference clearly. So I would guess that with smaller molecules the CPU is able to compensate this because it wasn't at its limit before, but with larger molecules the CPU cannot compensate this completely.
