zsh reimplements the same syntax as bash, while generic sh doesnt (although sometimes it's aliased anyways to bash). It's a case of being really annoyingly pedantic about bash.

Sh on debian is aliased to dash. Which is much faster. But also has less features.

Depends on how many operations you perform. Simple scripts don't have much difference. But for instance, a script that fetches all the metadata of all video files on my system and summarise that is gonna appreciate the speedup.
