I've been using lab128 for about 2 years now and it is a great product with some limitations. It's strengths are that you can select any region of virtually any of the main graphs and bring the active sessions that were running at that time. Very powerful. The data is collected into files so you can keep them and thus a baseline. No interface to an rdbms for the data files and there is a single outfit with only a few people supporting it. I have found it to be invaluable but have been frustrated with the inability to print reports from the program or put the data in a database.

I think the 9i OEM Performance Manager also requires a Diagnostics Pack license, which means it also requires Enterprise Edition - so it isn't cheap either. If you have those licenses though, you may still be able to run it against a 10g database if you login as sysdba.
One that I did a little testing with that seemed pretty light weight, effective and cheap is lab128 - I'd say it's at least worth a look:

Also, installing and running statspack snapshots is a quick, free and almost real-time (depending on how quickly you run the snapshots) alternative that I use frequently.
