Top 5 Timed Events ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ % Total Event Waits Time (s) Ela Time -------------------------------------------- ------------ ----------- -------- CPU time 1,596 55.05 PX Deq: Table Q qref 496 991 34.20 db file sequential read 25,700 143 4.95 db file scattered read 22,133 104 3.58 latch free 2,015 28 .96 ------------------------------------------------------------- 34.2% of time is spent on "PX Deq: Table Q qref", I do not know any thing about this event. I searched metalink, did not find much except that it is a parallel query related. The weird thing is we do not run much of parallel queries and yet this event appears on the report every time I run it. Does anybody know any thing about this wait event??
