It might. SSHDs work by caching frequently used files to the small SSD portion of your drive. The answer to your question will be solely determined on how often you switch between Mac OS and Windows. If you rarely use Windows and spend most of your time on Mac OS, Mac applications may take priority in this sector of the drive. This process also is the same the other way around.
