Hello Robert

I spent two weeks (!) investigating the question.
I required support from the vendor, sent them detailed informations.
I let users do different tests.
I collected and printed performance numbers, execution plans, looked
into waits, used AWR, ADDM, SQL Tuning Advisors, statistics
with/without histograms. I was playing with different init parameters
(mostly making things even worse). I set up a clone database, did more
tests... hey! Let's stop.

As you can see from other replies, you are guessing wrong. (Typical
case when people try to complicate obvious things).

If the software is just misbehaving, all this knowledge is for
nothing. Almost every query was doing FTS of huge tables, main
activity was direct path read. Same application was still installed in
the old server running 9i: Execution plans were completely different.
So what? It could have been something different than direct path
reads, it does not bear any direct logical relationship to the
solution. Based on this "knowledge", you would probably... buy more
disks?? Wrong!

Thanks anyway.
