No, more or less the same:

(benchmark-run-compiled 1 (pp-buffer))
=> (48.501764747 0 0.0)

I have modified my code so that it can be used outside help, you can
test it with tv/pp-region. Here with always the same test buffer:

(benchmark-run-compiled 1 (tv/pp-region (point-min) (point-max)))
=> (0.259444169 0 0.0)
