We already used this optimization if the plpgsql function is read-only. But it seems okay to do it even in a read-write function, if the expression contains only immutable functions/operators. There would only be a change of behavior if an "immutable" called function depends on seeing database updates made during the current plpgsql function. That's enough of a violation of the promise of immutability that anyone who complains won't have much of a case. The benefits are significant --- for simple cases like while i < 10000000 loop i := i + 1; end loop; I see net performance improvements around 45%. Of course, real-world cases won't get that much faster, but it ought to be noticeable. At the very least, this removes much of the performance penalty that used to exist for forgetting to mark a plpgsql function non-volatile.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
