    We tried all sorts of fixes, including contacting Microsoft. Microsoft did not provide any feedback.

    Finally - we executed the following in order...

    DBCC FREEPROCCACHE

    EXEC sp_recompile 'dbo.StoredProcedureName' (we preformed sp_recompile for over 100 Procedures).

    DBCC FREEPROCCACHE

    Once the final FreeProcCache finished - the server became operational w/out issue.

    We'll be scheduling a daily process to execute the FreeProcCache.

    FYI, CU3 for SQL Server 2012 has been released. It is available via:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2812412

    There are a number of fixes in this particular CU which address a host of performance issues. Most notably:
