Sorry to tell you this Long, but the reason you are having this problem is that you compiled Perl by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib. This shouldn't be done. It should be compiled *without* setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, other than for Oracle software. I saw that you did this in a previous

First of all, if you don't see cumulated waits for the 'latch free' event in either v$system_event or v$session_event (for a specific session/job) there is absolutely no need to do anything about these ratios. It's about the only two latches mentioned in the reference books and it's about the

Mogens, You are right. nothing is a performance problem unless there is a time contention. In general, it's very hard to see time spent in each latch. itrprof SQL Analyzer with waitgroup=(name,P1,P2) can report time spent in each latch. So, you can see time spent in A latch, time spent in B
