We have had a problem with hangs in 8.1.6. The symptom we see is an
extremely high version_count value in many of the rows of the v$sqlarea
table at the time of the hang. v$session_waits also has many sessions
waiting on pins of the shared pool. Basically, in our case, the shared pool
was full of sql that should have been sharable. I am not sure if this is
the same problem, but it sounds similar. Try doing a search in MetaLink on
timed_statistics and/or sqlexec_progression_cost if you think this could be
your problem.
