I don't believe that that's "well known" at all, at least not for
apples-to-apples comparison cases. A C-coded BEFORE trigger doesn't
have very much overhead; I suspect it's probably comparable to
expression evaluation setup overhead. I think if you want to argue
for this on performance grounds, you need to actually prove there's
a significant performance advantage, not just assume there will be.
