I think you are on to something Jared. We had this happen at a production site last year. For some reason, the site began reporting performance problems after upgrading from 7.3.4 to 8.1.6. I finally tracked it down to the fact that a majority of our tables had 'degree' set to 'DEFAULT', which forces the use of the CBO. We fixed this by doing 'alter table <table> noparallel' for all the tables which set degree to 1 and solved the problem.
