I think you want to run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on the queries that are being
executed BY mdx_core.zips_in_mile_range('75203', 15::numeric) rather
than the query that calls that function. You should be able to see
the same caching effect there and looking at that plan might give you
a better idea what is really happening.
(Note that you might need to use PREPARE and EXPLAIN EXECUTE to get
the same plan the function is generating internally, rather than just
EXPLAIN.)
