14.1 immutable function, bad performance if check number = 'NaN'

Good evening, and thanks to your excellent Postgres.

This funcion in used as a column in a select on about 400k records

If I leave the highlighted row it takes 27 seconds, otherwise 14 seconds!
Such behaviour looks not to be reasonable.

By the way, in my case I can remove that line, because the function
behaviour is the same, but I wanted to provide my very little contribution.

Bye
