While unlikely to assist for performance, all of those predicates in the above form [in parentheses], are easily rewritten having used the IN predicate instead. The following two logical expressions are equivalent, and IMO using the IN predicate is "prettier" for not having to repeat the field name:

( SpecificField = '' OR SpecificField = :SomeVariable )

SpecificField IN ( '', :SomeVariable )
