Ron, You raw need numbers. Enable SAR statistics collection for this LUN/fs with only temporary datafiles. Let it run for min 3 days with 5 minute resolution to collect data. Then you could grep SAR output for exact LUN/fs for these 3 days (using -f switch) and you would end up with data something like reads/s, writes/s, Kbs/s, avwait and avserv. Based on that values then you would decide what to do next... Also you can look at this data in real-time: iostat -x is your friend. How big is your PGA and SGA? What does PGA advisor tells you?
