Assuming the off-shore worker is 10% as effective as the on-shore worker, which, I'll be blunt, I'm not so sure about considering the anecdata I've amassed over the years working with some of these outsourcing body shops, like Tata, HCL, Cognizant, Infosys, etc.

I have always wondered why nobody ever talks about this. Outsourcing, even to US run companies, you are looking at a massive efficency hit.

Always makes me wonder if these companies even need an IT staff at all because once they outsource almost nothing ever gets done.
