Would they get a raise if they are more efficient? Or go home earlier? Well, you have your answer here :)

At the very least they would have less work to do.

No one ever has "less work to do". That's why managers exist: to find meaningful or meaningless work to do to fill the time saved, and eventually fire other people in order to ensure no one ever has less work to do.

Lots of people pretend to work more than they do.

That is the inevitable result. As a worker, either you pretend to work by appearing to already be overworked, or you get piled up more and more work until you are overworked.
