It's hard to tell from the plan you posted (and with only a brief look) but it
looks to me like your query with that function is basically doing a join but
because the inner side of the join is in your function's index lookup it's
effectively forcing the use of a "nested loop" join. That's usually a good
choice for small queries against big tables but if you're joining a lot of
data there are other join types which are much faster. You might find the
planner can do a better job if you write your query as a plain SQL query and
let the optimizer figure out the best way instead of forcing its hand.
