Folks, We have an app that is running well in single instance but when put on a 2-node or 3-node RAC, we see pretty much similar performance. However, if the CPU time is 55-60% in single instance, it becomes 20% in 3-node RAC and top-5 itmed events become.. "gc buffer busy", "gc current block busy", "enq: TX- index contention Any help in what to look for will be greatly appreciated.
