You would gain a few inches of barrel length.
To the extent that the suppressor really does make the barrel look effectively longer, the amount of gas that escapes from barrel/cylinder gap seems like it would be increased since the bore pressure is staying higher longer.

That said, I'm not sure that a suppressor would really make the barrel look longer from the standpoint of keeping the bore pressure high because there's not a gas seal while the bullet is traveling through the suppressor like there is while the bullet is in the bore.
