I did a couple of quick checks of sample frequency with one of my stress tests a few months ago.
without sampling ca. 2 seconds with default sampling (128) ca. 6 seconds with sample size = 1 ca. 10 seconds
Obviously dependent on the number of times a line of the execution plan is started, so most sensitive to nested loop types of activity.

Hi,
it in the session when you enable sql_trace. The only problem is that you can enable tracing for a session from a different session, but you can not change statistics_level for a different session. At least I do not know of a way. There are set_int_paramt_in_session and set_bool_param_in_session, but no set_char_param_in_session.
Jonathan mentioned the _rowsource_execution_statistics parameter, this is a boolean parameter and could be set with dbms_system.set_bool_param_in_session.
Btw, from 10g there is a _rowsource_statistics_sampfreq parameter, which could control the performance impact (and accuracy) of gathering rowsource statistics. I haven't done any tests with it though...
Tanel.
