Gentlemen
Tom's rewording suites me fine as I am concentrating my efforts on chap 31 contents.
Tom suggested:
The bigint type should only be used if the range of the integer
type is insufficient, because the latter is definitely faster.
If you want to nit-pick just a bit more, consider:
The bigint type should only be used if the range of the integer
type is insufficient.
