General answer: upgrade to 9.2.0.4 and hope that the bug has been fixed. Row cache locks are data dictionary locks. You can see the contents of row cache by inspecting v$rowcache. You may need to increase shared pool. Last but not least, how fast is your private network connection between the two nodes? 100mbit/sec is not nearly fast enough. You need at least a gigabit switch. Also check your SQL for hard parsing (see the executions and invalidations in v$sqlarea), ad-hoc DDL and that kind of stuff. And no, it's not my priority 1.
