• I would just execute the statement in question 5-10 times while profiling it for duration.

    run it 5-10 times without qualified naming and then 5-10 times with qualified names.

    average the durations

    probably run dbcc freeproccache and dbcc dropcleanbuffers between each execution to standardize the results.

    it wont be a perfect test statistically, but you should see some measurable differences....
