And reading your original email all the way to the end - depending on the
exec plan the FETCH part may be the easy part - EXEC for example needs to
pin the cursor, put binds in place in memory, walks through the execution
plan "initializes" various row sources that may mean memory allocation (but
for SELECTs, the actual plan execution and row production starts in
FETCH)...

So, can't assume that EXEC is less memory intensive than a 4 logical
IO-doing fetch that follows it.
