Unless there have been recent changes which I missed, ValuePerCall SRFs are still run to completion in one go, when executed in the FROM clause, but they project one-row-at-a-time in the target list. If your SRF returns many-many rows, the problem with the former case is that the entire thing has to be materialized in memory.
