Thanks Keith for your support Elapsed (Time between the Snapshots): 20.12 (mins) Qs Is there a threshold value above which %Total may be considered BAD? ... My impression is %Total > 30% is BAD. Cheers -----Original Message------------------------- From: Keith Moore [mailto:kmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 9:42 PM Vivek, What time period is the snapshot for? I've seen application running on application servers that make this call frequently. Each execution is only about 5 milliseconds but there are over 13,000 executions. It the snapshot time period is something like 2 hours then I would conclude that the % of total is high because not much else is happening and it's nothing to worry about. Keith > P.S.
