The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Subject: re: UDF bad performance
This simple function should be eligible for inlining. You will need to remove the BEGIN and END from the function definition and make sure it is defined as DETERMINISTIC. A function that is inlined is rerwritten into the query that uses it by the optimizer, removing the overhead of calling the function completely.
Detailed information about inline functions (applies to both scalar and table functions) can be found at the following link and in the SQL Reference.

I have this UDF that returns an integer:
BEGIN
RETURN CEILING ( LENGTH * WIDTH * HEIGHT / 166 ) ; END
Calls to this UDF take a lot longer than I expect (about 21x longer
than
an index-based SELECT statement). I checked all the parameters, and the
data types match verbatim so there shouldn't be any implicit conversions.
Any suggestions?
