Excellent work, Brian. Thanks for sharing this, might actually explain many "weird" performance problems.
I'm curious if this would happen as well if the parameter being passed was a type with CHAR attributes inside? I'm quite sure we've used CHAR in some of our types in the past but because we always used the type itself rather than discrete fields we never hit the problem. Must try this out. You were using 10.1, right?
