Gentlemen

Tom's rewording suites me fine as I am concentrating my efforts on chap 31 contents.

Tom suggested:

The bigint type should only be used if the range of the integer
type is insufficient, because the latter is definitely faster.

If you want to nit-pick just a bit more, consider:

The bigint type should only be used if the range of the integer
type is insufficient.
