Hi David,
I actually did read most of your last post, and I was going to reply.
But, I got pulled into a meeting and sidetracked, etc....
Anyhow, to address your much simplified question: No, if ITL waits (or
any kind of wait or contention) does not contribute to response time, don't
waste your time. This is at the heart of Method R, which Cary describes in
his book, and Amdahl's Law, which you can read about here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahls_law
Simple conclusion is that if it doesn't affect user response time, why do
you care?

<the sound of crickets in the background> Yea, silence is pretty much
what I got from my co-workers on this same subject. I probably provided
too much info. Believe me, I do understand, however please let me
ask this question:
If ITL Waits are not a significant contributor to response time nor
causing deadlocks, can you think of a circumstance that justifies reducing
ITL waits on an object? Must be my analness, but I keep feeling like I've
overlooked something.
Thanks,
David Taft

My main concern is if this analysis is sound. I think it is, but would
appreciate a second opinion ...
