You should have found a CPU time, and a couple of I/O times (seek and block transfer) in aux_stats$ that get set at database startup. 10g will be using the mechanism, even if there aren't any values for the rest of them - so it's a good idea either to disable the feature, or to set some suitable values.

Do I need to set some parameter to enable these on 10g or they have same behavior as of 9i?
