I often visit dbazine and read articlles there, on this issue, I have some 
questions:
question to that article:
1.  he said:
alter system set optimizer_index_cost_adj=20;
alter system set optimizer_index_caching=65.
    but in fact, these parameters cannot be modified online. How did he do that?

2.Implement cursor_sharing=force
According to wait event based tuning, tuning something that is not the 
bottleneck does not helps much. In his case, euqueue wait and full table scan 
caused most of the problem. Would change cursor_sharing be the solution of his 
problem?

3. question about add freelists;
    He has 450 users inserting records, even if one person can insert a record 
every 3 seconds, it is only possible that there is 150 new records per second. 
Can't oracle process 150 record insert per second even if only 1 freelists? I 
did a small test with 300 concurrent session doing insert into a table, each 
insert a table after 3 second sleep. and this is the statspack report:( i 
removed the plsql locker timer event from statspack via modifying 
stats$idle_event).

--only a few percent of that.
