Just to test this very quickly I ran 2000 multiplications of two standard reals in one program and two extended reals in another.

There's a 10% or so difference in speed, so nothing huge.

I think that most of the time is used up by stack manipulation here. What I should do is try with something more complex than multiplication. Involve some trig and/or logarithmic functions.
