Not clear.  There's a good chance that the GC pressure is due to the
strings generated and passed to the process filter and then inserted in
a temp buffer.

So there's a chance that even going through a super-efficient C library,
as long as the end result is returned via output sent to a process
filter for insertion into a temp buffer the result won't necessarily be
much better.

                ELisp"
