Performance issues in python using gdb

Hi,

 I've found in a couple of examples that using gdb as output in python toolboxes is much slower than standard files or shapefiles. Running in ArcPro 2.0.1

1. Toolbox that has a function that needs arcpy.sa.sample output for further processing.
   1. output sample results to .dbf, read back into a dataframe, delete dbf - 6.5s
   2. output sample results to scratch gdb, which is cleaner, read back into df - 25s
2. toolbox that outputs new feature classes
   1. outputs to shp - 5.19s
   2. outputs to gdb - 18.8s

In both cases the only difference in code is the storage in a gdb. Is anyone else seeing this performance issue using gdb storage?
