Create python environment with pyproj 1.9.6 (and proj 5.2).
Create a different python environment with pyproj 2.2.0 (and proj 6.1.0)
Download (for now) the zipfile at http://pmarshwx.com/tmp/usa.zip which is a folder of a shapefile
Run the test.py script (below) with the unzipped file (which is a folder) from above in same directory as the python script in each environment


My results on a MBP (ballparks after running multiple times):

                       pyproj=1.9.6 (proj=5.2.0) vs pyproj=2.2.1 (proj=6.1.0)
