Thanks for the quick response ! I think you're onto something with the
numeric type. I replaced it with bigint and repeated my test and now I
get a nice 40% speedup (I'm again intentionally ignoring the costs for
JIT'ting here as I assume a future PostgreSQL version will have some
kind of caching for the generated code):
Without JIT:
