right. I was looking at some stats from one of our buddies over
on the Oak Table and he showed the extant array values from all 4
instances on a 4 node cluster. Instance 4 had 10x more ASM extent
array size than the largest of the other 3 instances. I'm sure
we've all measured the failover impact of being
cache-cold on over 1GB of extent array cache that has to be
fetched over 1Gb right in the event of a RAC failover? What if that
forces a shared pool extention? What if that causes other shrinkage?
Hmmm...

I started testing this very aspect yesterday so the questions are
rhetorical :-)
