I think the main difference here is that the PEF requires compression, while the DNG does not. So the speed for PEF would depend on the balance between the increase in overhead for compression routine vs the reduction in write time because of smaller file size. Slower writing during shooting means that the buffer would fill up faster.
Another possibility is that more RAM is required for compression, and therefore less is available for the buffer.
