We have audit session enabled with an average of 10 logons/sec on a 2
node RAC, 10.2.0.3, ASM, Solaris 10.

No problems with it.

I DID have problems with AUDIT SESSION that was enabled for a short 
while in an RAC instance.
Although the AUDSES$ sequence had been altered to a high CACHE 
value,  there was some severe
contention during a connection storm (connections coming in at about 
1 every 3 seconds) and one
instance did crash.  We disabled Session Audit then.
In my opinion, SYS.AUD$ tries to capture too much information.
