Frequently these will be analytical queries. For short + queries the added overhead of performing <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> compilation + will often be higher than the time it can save. + </p><p> + To determine whether <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> compilation should be used, + the total estimated cost of a query (see + <a class="xref" href="planner-stats-details.html" title="Chapter 71. How the Planner Uses Statistics">Chapter 71</a> and + <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-QUERY-CONSTANTS" title="19.7.2. Planner Cost Constants">Section 19.7.2</a>) is used. + The estimated cost of the query will be compared with the setting of <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-JIT-ABOVE-COST">jit_above_cost</a>. If the cost is higher, + <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> compilation will be performed. + Two further decisions are then needed. + Firstly, if the estimated cost is more + than the setting of <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-JIT-INLINE-ABOVE-COST">jit_inline_above_cost</a>, short + functions and operators used in the query will be inlined. + Secondly, if the estimated cost is more than the setting of <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-JIT-OPTIMIZE-ABOVE-COST">jit_optimize_above_cost</a>, expensive optimizations are + applied to improve the generated code. + Each of these options increases the <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> compilation + overhead, but can reduce query execution time considerably. + </p><p> + These cost-based decisions will be made at plan time, not execution + time. This means that when prepared statements are in use, and a generic + plan is used (see <a class="xref" href="sql-prepare.html" title="PREPARE"><span class="refentrytitle">PREPARE</span></a>), the values of the + configuration parameters in effect at prepare time control the decisions, + not the settings at execution time. + </p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> + If <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-JIT">jit</a> is set to <code class="literal">off</code>, or if no + <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> implementation is available (for example because + the server was compiled without <code class="literal">--with-llvm</code>), + <acronym class="acronym">JIT</acronym> will not be performed, even if it would be + beneficial based on the above criteria.
