SHOW PARAMETER performs a 'FIXED TABLE FULL' scan of x$ksppi and x$ksppcv. Exactly
what I would expect.
SHOW USER did not show up in the trace file, which tells me it is internal code path.
SHOW ALL did the same. I think that the difference is that PARAMETERs are database
level information, where USER and ALL are related to sql*plus.
