Funny Issue with For XML Explicit

Hi All,
I am facing a funny problem while using "For Xml Explicit" in my stored procedure. The procedure make joins in 3 tables and then returns me an xml. The problem:
–The procedure executes perfectly fine, but some times it stops giving back the values in XML. It just returns empty tags. –When I recreate the stored procedure again it starts working and gives the data correctly. I found that we should use WITH RECOMPLIE option in stored procedure to resolve this issue, but it does not seem feasible to me, because in actual env. this procedure will be referenced by many users and will create performance issue.
Help in this issue will be higly appreciated. Thanks,
Gaurav
