It shouldn't make that much difference. Of course, a full 5-axis part program that is moving 5 axes in sontinuous motion will take a little more resources than a 3-axis program, but the super-hard stuff they usually make these parts out of are not machined at high feed rates. A LOT of people don't know about the G64 Pxxxx option until they ask, then they are amazed!
