From your number above, maybe 20-30 elo.
For analyse, you have to wait 50% longer (*1.5) for an iteration to finish.

Compared to native engines it's less than that, how is depended on how much the
native engines are handicaped in your setup.

The difference in your numbers seems a little to much, maybe someone with both
native and uci version of Shredder could check this.

And have an extra look at your taskmanager, file indexing etc. are killers.
