Does anyone have any advice on reducing cache buffer chains latch 
contention?

>From v$latch_children, I found the children with the highest sleeps and 
narrowed that to two tables. A method of reducing the contention is probably 
to reduce the number of records per block but that would also mean that now 
there will be more blocks to read. Is there any other ways of reducing the 
contention? I've tried increasing/reducing _db_block_hash_buckets but that 
did not help.

db_block_buffers=40960
_db_block_hash_buckets=db_block_buffers/4
db_block_size=8K
tables' pctfree=30, pctused=40

thanks.
