I have one batch process running and there are alot of waits. I thought waits were caused by concurrency? If this is unreadable, please ignore. Hard to format with web email. Basically, I have large waits for DB_FILE_SCATTERED_READ, DB_FILE_SEQUENTIAL_READ, and for RAC Cache Fusion due to the load balancing.
