[SDL] OpenGL vs Direct3D; dgl

I was poring through SDL_dx5video.c and saw a
comment to the effect than setting an OpenGL mode
will use the GDI instead of DirectX.

What I want to know is even if OpenGL uses a
hardware accelerated driver will it always be
at a disadvantage speedwise vis-a-vis Direct3D
because it cannot use DirectDraw?

And by the way what happened to Scitech's dgl?
