Very strange issue here.. Ran code days ago that was dragging VERYYY slowly, ran the same code today after re-compiling your package and the code I am using with it and I am getting SIGNIFICANT improvement of performance..
We are running on an 11g r2 Enterprise instance (VM on a Linux server).. I do appreciate what you have done with this package..
Might have been a server issue with memory getting hogged by other processes and now its free..
Either way, thanks for the help!!
