Hi, Joel.

That would mean that it isn't waiting for the shared latch acquisition, but it 
did wait for a short time. After that short waiting, the session is busy doing 
something thus burning CPU. V$SESSION_WAIT.STATE would show 'WAITED SHORT TIME' 
or 'WAITED UNKNOWN TIME' if my assumption servers it right.

You can try PROCESSSTATE dump and/or CALLSTACK dump to find out what the 
session is really doing.

SID 0 is using a lot of CPU (in a particular test case).  If the latch was 
named 'shared pool latch' I'd have an explanation, but LatchProfX is revealing 
that latch 'ksuosstats global area' is at the top and 'shared pool latch' is 
not listed.

I went to MOS and searched, as well as Google, and ksuosstats normally shows up 
as part of a list of latches and the discussion is normally centered around 
another issue.

Can anyone let me know what this might be all about?  Is it part of the shared 
pool, and therefore part of the initialization process normally associated with 
SID 0?  (thanks Tanel).
