We have a 10.2.0.4.0 RAC database that I'm currently building a new 11.2.0.3.0 
RAC for. We will migrate to it one schema at a time using Data Pump.
The current database has dictionary managed tablespaces that were created so 
that some objects could be created using FREELISTS and FREELISTGROUPS to 
resolve performance issues. Exact knowledge of what those were doesn't exist 
anymore; however, I believe it is related to notes I've seen regarding "high 
DML tables and a tradeoff between buffer busy waits and DML contention". From 
what I'm reading 11gR2 has done a lot to fix this issue, and unfortunately we 
don't have an environment to truly test beforehand.

Any knowledge and advice would be greatly appreciated.
