Hi Gaja ,

Many thanks for the hints. 
Yes, we have experienced severe system slowness during this period.  I have 
checked DBA hist active session history and I can see that for the problem time 
window 'Concurrency' wait ever came all of a sudden. This is happening only in 
one instance. Top foreground timed events being 'Cursor pin wait on X' and 
'Library Cache Mutex-X' waits. A severity 1 SR is raised with Oracle for this. 

There are bugs related to this 'mutex' , SQL high version count , which in 
fortunately I not available for our platform (Solaris x86 11.2.0.2)

Other recommendations were to increase sag , increase interval between memory 
resize operations ( yes we use AMM) , gathering dictionary and fixed object 
statistics. 

The performance was really bad so that we see the Library Hit % being 
1.7,0.8,-0.87 etc. I have analysed past trend which shows the % coming down. 

The ADDM for problem window recommends some session holding a mutex lock and 
some others waiting for it which contributes 30% of the activity. 
The SQLs reported were not so bad a these were critical ones which normally 
works not so bad. 

The activities that I see in this time on database are the statistics 
collection jobs , which were running. Not sure whether this has contributed a 
pressure in Library cache. 

After we increased sga it's getting to normal state. But due to a (possible) 
bug I feel this will come again. 

Regards,
Sreejith
