Robyn,
Nope, that was the point of my previous message.  If the BBW is on 
a data block and P3 is 130, freelist increases will do exactly 
nothing and are a waste of time.  Ditto w/ implementing ASSM.
Rather, these BBWs are secondary to mutiple, concurrent, db file
sequential and scattered reads.  You must tune the SQL doing all
the excess I/O, and the BBW problem will disappear.  Almost certainly,
it makes sense to start with the scattered reads.  Determine the SQL
causing the most scattered reads, look at the execution plan, try to
find a more efficient access path for those queries.

Hope that helps,

-Mark

We are rebuilding a few objects, but all of the remaining buffer busy
waits are type 130/data blocks.  If these waits are for data reads, is
it still advisable to increase freelists?  I thought I had read that
automatic segment space management would eliminate the need to worry
about freelists. Also, Paula's comment about additional io load
concerned me - is there an additional io load with ASSM I should be
concerned about?  I've been using ASSM on some databases already and
thus far, haven't seen any problems.  (except with Lob's)  What's the
better approach for the objects that do get rebuilt?  I've been aiming
for LMT, uniform extents and ASSM, but I'll go slow with ASSM if
others have seen problems.

tia ... Robyn
