Interesting.

I just did a bit of benchmarking.

Once I set up a new SQuirreL connection (specifying SYSTEM and a library list), I did a query of 6 fields of an entire 24K record file, with the DISPLAYVAL function invoked on four of the six fields I included.

SQuirreL got back to me in under 17 seconds, with the following statistics (on one attempt):
Row Count: 24006
Elapsed Time (seconds): Total: 15.969, SQL query: 0.078, Building output: 15.891

The same query without the DISPLAYVAL:
Elapsed Time (seconds): Total: 0.719, SQL query: 0.016, Building output: 0.703

So it doesn't look like I need to be all that concerned about optimizing the DISPLAYVAL UDF after all.
