make_fcontext() == CreateFiber()
jump_fcontext() == SwitchToFiber()

You compare apples and oranges - boost.fiber uses at its lower level
make_fcontext()/jump_fcontext() - so it would always
'slower' than the base-level functions.
a comparison would belong to boost.context - the lib already contains code
and documentation too.
