Amir, Only you can tell us whether the issue is of legitimate concern, right? :-) Is the event a dominant contributor to the response time of an important business task?

We are currently running a test on a two-node RAC/11i instance. Statspack is showing this wait among the top five (at #5). We are using the "broadcast on commit" scheme as it is recommended by Oracle for 11i instances. Per Metalink, this event is related to the broadcast scheme that we are using. But what does it really mean and at what point it becomes a matter of concern? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank you Amir
