I've actually been willing to argue with Silver and JediXMan in the past about Starkiller's proficiency, but here most of it is kind of irrelevant. To me the situation basically boils down to this: the only opponent Starkiller has faced that was at all comparable to Yoda was Palpatine, and even in the games there is plenty of reason to believe he threw the fight. It makes sense with what happens (how does someone who just got his ass kicked suddenly walk around like he's fine and still have enough power to blow a hole in the friggin' Death Star, then still be standing afterwards like he isn't even winded?), but it also fits in pretty well with Palpatine's personality and basically his entire convoluted scheme that makes up the plot of the game. Everyone else Galen fights is so much weaker than Yoda in every area that there really isn't room for comparison between the two. The only reason Galen might last a while is because, IMO anyway, it is not in Yoda's nature to be "bloodlusted," so he might be fighting more defensively until he takes Galen's measure. So basically, the fight would last about as long as Yoda wants. A fight against, say, Mace Windu might actually be shorter, just because he seems like a more straightforward, no-nonsense fighter.
Then again, Yoda didn't show any qualms or remorse about killing clonetroopers left and right, and the only other fights I really know about are against Tyrannus and Palpatine, both of whom are strong enough to defend themselves against him, so I could be way off on his personality. That or he just doesn't care about clones.
