Ak - Were the processes you killed doing updates? If so the work is probably rolling back changes. Then it won't make much difference whether the process rolls it back or smon does. You could take a look at the wait statistics to get an idea of what is going on.

I though after killing them mpon might be doing some clean up work .cpu is still high . question : If I recycle this instance ,is it going to take long time to come back .
