When BatchUpdatecount is set to it's default value, 1, update queries are submitted using the sp_executesql stored procedure. When I BatchUpdatecount to 10, the update queries were submitted in a single batched wrapped with the sp_prepare/sp_unprepare system stored procedures. I'm guessing that this is why you're seeing the results that you're seeing.
