I thought one of the main reasons to replace implicit by explicit cursors was the fact that implicit cursors will always check for extra rows, which decreases performance (extra fetch needed). Especially in case of slow network connections, this can be a problem. Now you suggest that we should perform that extra check also in case of explicit cursors.
