Liviu,
It is arguable, that updating the DB software version in an enterprise
environment requires exactly that: check all production queries on the
new software to identify any issues. In part, this is brought on by the
very tuning that you performed against the previous software. Restore
the 8.1 DB into 8.2. Then run the queries against both versions to
evaluate functioning and timing.
