Hi list,

My database is up since december 2003. However, when I go through
v$latch, I found the following;

NAME                               GETS     MISSES   SLEEPS
------------------------------ ---------- ----------

And when I dig at v$latch_children I found a lot of misses for
NAME                                 GETS     MISSES     SLEEPS

(hell a lot of rows found there for these two)

How can I solve this problem? Is it very bad for performance point of
view, having such big values for those latches?
