do $$
declare x int ;
begin
  for i in 1..1000000
  loop
    let ooo = i;
  end loop;
end;
$$;

variant 1 .. 1500 ms
variant 2 with PLpgSQL support .. 140 ms
variant 2 without PLpgSQL support 9000 ms
--------------------------------------------------


That's impressive!  But 1 million times of variable assignment took only 140 ms?  It's that one assignment took only 140 nanosecond, which is near one DRAM access?  Can PL/pgSQL processing be really so fast?
