Hard to compare as it depends on application, the shaft speed differential is huge or you're comparing jet thrust to propeller thrust. I don't think small turbines (like RC jet turbine size) are usually very efficient as they are working against the surface area ratio of heat loss through the chamber walls and Reynolds number effects on the turbine blades.
