I have a six-month-old Oracle 9.0.1.3 database that is using shared server
connections. Users are complaining about system slowness sporadically
throughout the day, but I don't see any CPU, i/o, or network-related issues
with the server itself. I have run a few Statspack reports through
oraperf.com, and they all say that I can get a 90%+ gain by tuning MTS. In
addition, in the waits section, virtual circuit status is by far the event
with the most wait time.

I have checked the v$shared_server_monitor view, and nothing raises a flag
with me. SERVERS_HIGHWATER has never come close to approaching
MAX_SHARED_SERVERS. There are some servers started and terminated throughout
the business day (3-4), but I don't think this would causes the symptoms I
am seeing.

Personally, I am tempted to switch to using dedicated connections. Our
Peoplesoft Financials and HR databases use this, so I doubt this application
would have a problem with it.

Does anybody have any thoughts or ideas? 

Thanks,
