That's an LDO. Might get hot, but not too much at 50-100mA.
Not high efficiency. Rather more like 40% efficiency.

I agree it isn't very efficient, though I am not sure why that matters to the OP. As for heat, at 100ma that really shouldn't be an issue. If it is, he can always use something like an LM338, which at 100ma probably won't even notice the heat.
