This is how i have approached similar issue before ...1) prove your issue (that there is indeed a slowndown) using dba_hist_sqlstats
- Verify ET, CPU, and LIO changes - Verify xplan switches (cbo cost)- profile wait events for this sql (applicaiton / cluster / concurrency / IO) - Compare xplans dba_hist_sql_plans or DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_AWR (to verify)
- Dig through DBA_HIST_SQLBIND for any clues.The above should give some idea on where to go from here. If still not enough, I proceed to dbms_monitor and on some rare occasions to oradebug.
