(let ((before (benchmark-run 1000
               (shell-command-to-string "seq 200")))
     (after (benchmark-run 1000
              (process-output "seq" "200"))))
 (/ (car before)
    (car after))) => 3.27

Roughly a 3.27 gain, or should I calculate differently?

macOS. Need to grab a hold of a linux box to get equivalent

Makes sense.
