Seeing you SQL, performance appears to be your smallest problem. That
code must be about unmaintainable. I would get those values in to a
table. That may or may not help you to the best performance, but at
least you will be better equipped to battle the problems.

I doubt that it's documented. I found it on my own by testing.

I don't see why the multiple clients would cause the problem. But since
I don't where you get all these values from or much at all about
your system, I cannot any examples.

Did you say which version of SQL Server you are using`?
