Benchmark results will probably depend on the type of processing
you're doing. I'd expect PL/pgSQL to be faster at database operations
like looping through query results, and other languages to be faster
at non-database operations like text munging and number crunching,
depending on the particular language's strengths.

Whale oil beef hooked. PL/pgSQL just outran PL/Perl when I expected
the latter to win. Hang on, let me play with it until it comes back
with the results I want....
