Lisa, (Copy of response sent to your direct e-mail since list servers don't do well with large attachments).
I will attach the white paper you are looking for. You should know that this is a quick overview of the content of Gaja's book. Here is my advise: 1) Join IOUG - There are tons of benefits including a huge repository of information. 2) If you find the paper on tuning with "Wait Events" interesting, you will love his book.
