AFAIK and experienced, excessive access to some V$ views might cause
some contention on latches. At least we experienced that in few db
instances with one of our monitoring scripts. We think we hit the bug
that accesing particular V$ table can lead for a long hold time of a
latch. Well as V$ views are based on X$ memory structures, access to
them is protected with latches. This is my understanding and that's
what we've been told by Oracle support in that case.
