RE: "control file sequential read" wait during RAC Benchmark ?


12seconds CPU time [of which 5seconds went to statspack.snap()]
and 7 seconds "control file sequential read"  are not significant
fractions of the elapsed time of 7minutes.
[your server has 8 CPUs on this node so the total available CPU time was 56minutes 
and only 12seconds were consumed by Oracle processes ?]
Your server and database were actually idle.
Get some real load on the system and re-run StatsPack.

Total wait time for "control file sequential read" is 7 seconds.
Is that significant ?  Was the StatsPack snapshot for a duration of
10 minutes ? 1 hour ?

-> Period between the Statspack Snapshots = 6.97 minutes

Snapshot       Snap Id     Snap Time      Sessions Curs/Sess Comment
~~~~~~~~ ---------- ------------------ -------- --------- ------------------- 
Begin Snap:         27 23-Feb-07 17:53:38       70      16.1
  End Snap:         28 23-Feb-07 18:00:36       80      18.3
   Elapsed:                6.97 (mins)

Why do you think "control file sequential read" waits would be tempered by
"transaction be grouped logically so that transactions hit different
data blocks" ?
-> That is a Question & I do NOT know if "grouping transactions" has any impact on the "control file sequential read" wait. 
-> Seek your Advice on this.
