Right, but I also wouldn't expect a huge improvment either, unless
you're calling these queries a ton, or the queries that you're calling
from the pl/pgsql are pretty short-lived.
Don't get me wrong, C is going to be faster, but it depends on exactly
what's going on as to if it's going to be an overall improvment of, say,
10%, or a 10-fold improvment. :)
