I was just reading the 10.2 Performance Tuning Guide and found this little gem. 
I thought it should have been written out by now

"7.2.3.1 Increasing Memory Allocated to the Buffer Cache

As a general rule, investigate increasing the size of the cache if the cache 
hit ratio is low and your application has been tuned to avoid performing full 
table scans."

Clearly no one in Oracle has updated the Tech Writers for some time 

Cheers
