Take an eagles eye view b4 coding. Parameter objects have their problems as well if needed on long stretches of stack and in vfp, as a very high level, but relatively slow interpreter language in particular. Been there in an app depending on parameter object for almost every 2nd method call - the cloning on each stack level still hurt after I created a discrete parameter stack to avoid always creating and destroying parameter objects.

Parameter objects work much better in statically typed languages like C, C# and Java, as "throwaway objects" are much cheaper there.

Not knowing the particular corner you painted yourself in needing that many parameters, not easy to point to other solutions, but think on creating a few objects with 4..9 properties each used in methods of said object. Pure gut SWAG: staying in functions but NEEDING parameter object is only in 1 of 12 times best way to design that part.

again - been there, was too late for total redesign, had to patch. Think hard before coding. Also think on composition over inheritance.
