the cpu right now is high because they are not-using bind variables. Which is being 
fixed. So I was ignoring CPU usage. 

Ive read that article. I dont remember any CPU material in there. I just focused on 
LIOs and didnt realize I needed to monitor CPU. However, high LIOs will lead to high 
CPU right? So in order to tune, wouldnt I concentrate on lowering LIOs and as a result 
that will bring down CPUs. I take CPU as a consequence of something, but not as a 
means to an ends.

or am I wrong here?
