Point taken but are there any factors on an aerodynamic level, which make a jet more suitable for tailwind operations than a prop aircraft?

Also I heard the statement: For a fast aircraft with moderate tailwand, landing with TW is no big deal whereas for a slow aircraft with tailwand at the limit, it could be disastrous. How come the fast aircraft should have less problems when landing with tailwind then the slow aircraft?
