Of course, under OSX it might still improve with better drivers, but no driver update or notebook capabilities are going bring the performance beyond that what you are currently experiencing under Windows.
If you really want higher performance I would recommend for starters that you look around for one of the USB 3.0 alternatives based on the DL 3x00 chipset. I personally would recommend the Lenovo USB 3.0 dock with 2x DVI, 1x Gbit Ethernet and audio/USB 3.0 ports.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure if you understood my question (maybe I was being confusing). I was asking, if I were to buy a USB 3.0 adaptor based on the DL 3x00 chipset right now, would the performance be fast enough (compared to my current USB 2.0 adapter) using the current OSX DL 3x00 alpha drivers to justify spending the money on the 3.0 adaptor?
