    Thanks ChrisM@Work for your comment. I got the tone.

    Generally UDFs are slow as compare to same query.

    You may also wish to correct the error. Your function returns incorrect values when the time of the from-date is later than the time of the to-date - use the dates from my last post to check. Changing the input parameters to DATE might fix this - it's worth a try.
