Hello All, I never had to set my timed_statistics to true in my present environment as I never faced any THE major performance problems. As I have everything else stabilized with our migrations to 9203, I am planning to test setting this up in our test environment next week. I would like to know your experiences with this. Am I correct in assuming that majority of the critical systems run with this parameter set to true? Thanks for your input.
