Hi, Vivek,
    Is it only batch job related application slow down, or really the
WHOLE instance slowed down?  Batch job can be slower as now filesystem
cache does not cache the data that not cached by oracle SGA when you
do full table scan.
    After you changed the from buffered io to forcedirectio, do you
have any change in oracle SGA size? As now more free memory can be
used by oracle?
