Dan,

I agree that the work appears to be going into creating consistent reads. Is
your SQL just a SELECT? Any DML (updates?). Any triggers? I'm thinking 'write
consistency'. Tom Kyte gave a really good talk on this at IOUG. If you do a long
running UPDATE and another session updates and commits a row you haven't
reached, you rollback and start the update again. CR obviously increase even
without much activity on the table. My tip today is to check out

Dan,

I think that you've hit upon the only possible explanation, especially
regarding your comment that "eventually it will get a 1555 error".  The
flip-side of ORA-01555 is more work spent rebuilding a consistent read...

Hope that the support folks return the right answer...  :-)
