Ana,

Our local Oracle Users' Group had a great presentation on Upgrade Best
Practices last week. Check at www.tcoug.org in a week or so and the
presentation will be posted there.
  The key suggestion was to have the users agree on key performance
indicators BEFORE the upgrade. Then run some benchmarks BEFORE the upgrade
and document the performance. Then, after the upgrade, confirm those
benchmarks and this will help you pinpoint where your performance issues
are.
  Too often, a site will simply upgrade, and in the hazy memory of the
users, they will insist that the system ran like a screaming banshee before
the upgrade and now runs like a lazy turtle. But nobody has any numbers so
you don't know who to believe or where to start.
