What is the actual overhead from using a userdefined
function (a C function, say)?
Obviously there is an overhead involved in calling
any function. I would like to know what kind of issues
are involved when using results of a user defined function for
sorting.
Are the results calculated only once, as one would expect,
for example.
Thanks,
