Waow, that's really weird. You say that what you are querying are VIEWS. Could you post the view text as well? I suspect that's where weirdness comes from. If they happen to be UNIONs with swapped columns in one segment, the fact that the RTRIM() changes the execution plan (probably) might hit other sections of the data.
