My experience with the automatic memory management is that it works fine
if you have plenty of memory available.  However, if you are limited in
memory for whatever reason it will actually cause major performance
problems.  I didn't get into the details (these were production
instances), but I suspect Oracle gets to a point where it is too busy
trying to juggle too little memory among the various pools, and cant
execute its everyday business.

Well, I suppose this may be a little controversial, but
we used auto memory management and came to conclusion it is a major 
source of some of our problems.
The idea is fine and we suppose it works  great for instances with less 
turbulent memory structure changes
However since we started with ASMM, we experienced several major server 
failures, while working with static settings it was not the case.
Of course now we have to bounce server to change settings, but still it 
is better to have a control over shutdown process.
