Yep! The USED figures come from the V$SQL_WORKAREA view (the LAST_...
columns). It won't be populated until the query finishes (or is canceled).
In the brackets you have number of passes that's 0 for optimal executions
(LAST_PASSES colum I think). The Used-TMP field in DBMS_XPLAN is buggy,
it's in kilobytes, so the 385K in your output actually means 385 MB :)
