Statspack report show Top 5 Wait Events ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wait % Total Event Waits Time (cs) Wt Time -------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ------- direct path write 49,152 63,188 37.02 db file sequential read 84,584 43,686 25.60 db file parallel write 2,192 18,168 10.65 log file sync 10,422 12,433 7.28 log file parallel write 10,467 12,225 7.16 Instance Efficiency Percentages (Target 100%) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buffer Nowait %: 100.00 Redo NoWait %: 100.00 Buffer Hit %: 73.98 In-memory Sort %: 99.98 Library Hit %: 90.88 Soft Parse %: 74.03 Execute to Parse %: 5.58 Latch Hit %: 99.99 Parse CPU to Parse Elapsd %: 97.78 % Non-Parse CPU: 100.00 Other stats are looking fine.I noticed couple of times system is spending more time on IO.
