Well...PDF is Postscript, so this shouldn't make one bit of difference.
It's interpreted postscript which can make a difference.
Both Postscript and PDF are interpreted languages. PDF is a different
page description language, with many aspects in common with Postscript.
Most Postscript interpreters have been modified in some fashion (with
a new front end that uses the same backend machinery, with a translator, or
by encoding PDF operators in Postscript) to be able to interpret PDF.
Postscript can be harder to "get right" (ie. to make behave in
a consistent fashion across different interpreters) than PDF, since
it is a general language, and the interaction between different
elements can be harder to determine. On the other hand, Postscript has been
around longer, and PDF now incorporates more advanced features (such as
embedded profiles, transparency etc.), so some PDF implementations
are more bug ridden than their Postscript counterparts.
