I think I got it:

I made the function immutable so it only calls it once, therefore no
longer requiring a call per-row.
Since it's obviously *not* immutable, this will come back to bite you
sooner or later (probably sooner). Labeling it STABLE would be
reasonable, although I'm not certain how much that helps you. Do you
have indexes on the columns it's being compared to?
Besides, a temp table is pretty much a session variable.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
