V7.3.4.5 on V2.6 Solaris, if it matters.

We generate a bunch 200+ reports (plz don't ask if they are all necessary)
nightly via a series of tasks linked togther via shell scripts.

In February & many, many months before that this one report was
averaging 20 minutes plus/minus 4 minutes to complete; night in
and night out. Around  5 March this single report would either
"never" finish, take 1 - 3 HOURS to complete or complete in 
about 20 minutes; WITHOUT any apparent reason for the change in
elapsed run times.

As far as we can tell "nothing has changed"!
We've been unable to discern what is different between the nights
where it completes in 20 minutes and nights where it does not. On
those nights where it "never completes" if the session is KILLED
and then re-run manually is ALWAYS completes in about 20 minutes.

At this point in time this report is an annoyance and a mystery.
We can live with the strange behavior, but would like to better
understand why the elapsed times are so erratic. Running bstat/
estat while the report was on the system did not reveal any 
meaninful results.

I'm asking for ideas and suggestions as I'm at a loss.

TIA & HAND!
Charlie M.
