That would allow up to 80% of the DEFAULT buffer pool to be used for hot buffers thereby improving the caching of the buffers that are causing you to wait. @ Regards, @ Steve Adams @ http://www.ixora.com.au/ @ http://www.christianity.net.au/ -Original Message

Hi Ed, I would agree with the _kgl_latch_count change, but the _kgl_bucket_count change seems unwarranted and extreme. Rather I suspect that the size of your library cache hash table rather reflects an oversized shared pool, probably with some use of literal SQL. @ Regards, @ Steve Adams
