Multiplying two ten-digit numbers which are stored on base 1,000,000,000 will require computing four partial products. Doing it in BCD would require either computing 100 partial products or computing 40 ten-digit sums; if a processor had instructions to compute BCD sums eight digits (32 bits) at a time, the latter approach might be almost workable, but I don't think I've seen a processor which could handle BCD math more than two digits at a time.
