Jonathan, the session that motivated me to  start investigating spent 
significant time
waiting for the "KO" enqueue. V$LOCK_TYPE tells me that this is "Multiple 
Object Checkpoint"
and that it "Coordinates checkpointing of multiple objects". I haven't had such 
problems 
with the usual checkpoints, which were well described in the documentation. The 
mere fact 
that I noticed waiting for the checkpoint means that there is a problem. 
Principle sounds 
right, on paper, but whoever has written anything more complex then 
printf("%s\n","Hello World"); 
knows that the devil lies in the details. I believe that the problem is in the 
sloppy coding and
Elbonian project management. As Oracle 10.2 is the first version having such a 
nice feature
that I had discovered yesterday, I'm inclined to turn it off until it's ready 
for the prime time.
