I'm sorry, I still don't get it: how can you be sure that postgresql won't call 
perl_sliding_mean with not-ordered timestamps-data? I don't mean only in case 
of holes.

The "order by" as far as I know is usually done at the very end of the plan, so 
I don't think it can affect the order of the data passed to the function...
Suppose you have data like:
01/01/2009 1.00 -7 
01/01/2009 2.00 -7,1 
01/01/2009 3.00 -5,3 
01/01/2009 4.00 -5,2 
01/01/2009 5.00 -4,8 
01/01/2009 6.00 -4 



What does prevent postgresql to call your function with data in this order:
01/01/2009 6.00 -4 
01/01/2009 1.00 -7 
01/01/2009 5.00 -4,8 
01/01/2009 3.00 -5,3 
01/01/2009 2.00 -7,1 
01/01/2009 4.00 -5,2 

and reorder ("order by fulltime") at the very end (when results from the 
function are already out)?

Thank you for your patience.
