I just tried it, compared with emacs -Q it is quite a bit slow.

$ time /path/to/temacs -Q -f kill-emacs

real    0m4.106s
user    0m3.825s
sys     0m0.090s

$ time emacs -f kill-emacs

real    0m5.056s
user    0m2.894s
sys     0m0.182s

$ time emacs -q -f kill-emacs

real    0m1.508s
user    0m0.453s
sys     0m0.078s

$ time emacs -Q -f kill-emacs

real    0m0.990s
user    0m0.242s
sys     0m0.045s

This is what I use for git commits:

$ git config --get core.editor
emacs -nw -Q -l ~/.emacs.d/minimal-commit.el

$ time emacs -nw -Q -l ~/.emacs.d/minimal-commit.el -f kill-emacs

real    0m0.665s
user    0m0.270s
sys     0m0.021s

You can find minimal-commit.el here:
