This seems like a rather klugy substitute for marking the function
"iscachable". You might want to read up on that in the CREATE FUNCTION
documentation.
I don't see why an OS change would affect this though; I think you still
have more digging to do to understand the issue. Did you reinstall
Postgres after the OS update, and if so is it possible you neglected to
do VACUUM ANALYZE after reloading the database?
