Some more information...
First of all I found out that marking PL/pgSQL function as immutable significantly increase speed of its execution:
19808 ms vs. 27594. It happens because exec_eval_simple_expr is taken snapshot if function is volatile (default).
I wonder if PL/pgSQL compiler can detect that evaluated expression itself is actually immutable and there is no need to take snapshot
for each invocation of this function. Also I have tried yet another PL language - JavaScript, which is now new outsider, despite to the fact that
v8 JIT compiler is very good.
