Replicating Replicated Data.

Some of our data is stored in Oracle databases dedicated to Peoplesoft. We have other databases which require a subset of this information. These other databases are not all on the same machine. They are either directly tied to physics experiments or they are subject to certification

Something here doesn't compute. If you tried to use time-based measurements and didn't find out where the time went - well, bad for you. If you then stumbled on something, say the database startup/database shutdown ratio (would normally be fairly close to 1, but could vary) or the log file

Time to check what? If it goes down it could be because your statement(s) were optimized to use less resources (as documented so well). If it goes up it could be because your statements became more or less efficient. And you'd have to check if it was because of an index, a table, a sql
