Since you mention the egg (for those who don't know, it means a loop is not a perfect circle, but rather, shaped like an egg, with the pointy-part at the top), it illustrates that the top of the egg has a tight radius, even though you are slow and have little g to work with, because your g AND "God's g" (gravity) are both pointed in the same direction: DOWN. So, if this is what you mean by 'more positive turn performance,' I would say emphatically YES.
Conversely, the bottom of the egg is huge, even though you are typically pulling a lot of g and grunting like mad, because God's g is fighting some of what you are generating. And this is obviously 'negative' turn performance.
Incidentally, the horizontal/climbing turn/descending turn (pitchback/sliceback) could be described as also moving around the
outside of the egg.
Ommlettes, anyone?
