Jack,

1.  Most likely you are okay here.

2. If you haven't already, check v$sga_resize_ops to see if Oracle is
performing an excessive amount of resize operations.  If it is you may want
to set minimums for the pools that don't have any set.

3. Do you still have one of the 9i environments around to see how
statistics differ on the problem tables involved?
