Rick, Shot in the dark =8-) If Context (a.k.a. InterMedia) is involved I've seen a CPU pegged at 90% with a web app doing a dynamic text query using CONTAINS and a '-' minus operator. They actually didn't know about the '-' query op...they ended up searching the text string input and replacing '-' with '\-' and the problem dis-appeared. This was 8.1.7.0.0 BTW on Win2K. I found the problem using v$session joined to v$sqlarea. Luckily only the suspect query was running at the time.
