Thanks Jared, Mark for your replies. We are investigating an increase in 
CPU usage with no apparent change in execution plans. The analyst on the 
SR  (and Tim Hopkins from this list) came back saying that these objects 
will experience high logical reads while making heavy use of user defined 
datatypes, which we do. As per the analyst, this is nothing to be 
concerned about, especially under heavy load.  So, this line of 
investigation is off the table for now. Will dig into it later, but will 
be interested in any observations from this team.

Thanks
Raj

On one of our databases (3 node RAC 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 10), I see that 
indexes on the above 2 objects belonging to sys consume about 15% of the 
logical reads that happen, and are the top 2 segments experiencing the 
most logical reads. Can someone shed light on what these objects are? 


As per ML Note 175982.1 I would suspect it has something to do with 
objects used in the data dictionary.  You may have noticed there is a
corresponding type for each table.

You'll probably need to open an SR to pursue this further:

select * from kottd$
              *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30732: table contains no user-visible columns

ORA-30732: table contains no user-visible columns 
Cause: An attempt was made to query on a system table which has no 
user-visible columns.
Action: Do not query on a system table that has no user-visible columns.
