I thought it would be interesting to also measure the isolated effect
on just numeric_mul() without the query overhead.

Included var1ndigits=5 var2ndigits=5, that should be unaffected,
just to get a sense of the noise level.

SELECT timeit.h('numeric_mul',array['9999','9999'],2,min_time:='1 s'::interval);
SELECT timeit.h('numeric_mul',array['9999_9999','9999_9999'],2,min_time:='1 s'::interval);
SELECT timeit.h('numeric_mul',array['9999_9999_9999','9999_9999_9999'],2,min_time:='1 s'::interval);
SELECT timeit.h('numeric_mul',array['9999_9999_9999_9999','9999_9999_9999_9999'],2,min_time:='1 s'::interval);
SELECT timeit.h('numeric_mul',array['9999_9999_9999_9999_9999','9999_9999_9999_9999_9999'],2,min_time:='1 s'::interval);
