This is strange and I can not believe the documentation for the first link being right at all because it seems to say that even cpuspeed is gathered with NOWORKLOAD but cpuspeedNW ( NW = NO WORKLOAD) is specifically designed for No Workload so cpuspeed can not be updated with noworkload stats. Same with maxthr - that's again a workload stats! Anyway, it doesn't answer my question anyway so I guess will go down the route of raising an Oracle SR ... unless someone else enlightens me from Oracle-L! Thanks.
