"execution_cost
A positive number giving the estimated execution cost for the
function, in units of cpu_operator_cost. If the function returns a
set, this is the cost per returned row. If the cost is not specified,
1 unit is assumed for C-language and internal functions, and 100 units
for functions in all other languages. Larger values cause the planner
to try to avoid evaluating the function more often than necessary. "
