David,
Do you have timed_statistics set to true? If not, you need to do so. Although I
am pretty certain that this is the case, but let's assume that you truly waited
0 seconds. If you were able to remove ALL of the latch free events, you would
improve the response time in the system by 0 seconds. Not exactly a
cost-beneficial activity.

Set timed_statistics to true and then look at the wait analysis. Focus on
seconds waiting, not total waits. There is where you will find the benefit.
