Could maybe be a by product of when transactions completed. Remember
that the recording is made when the transaction completes...so timing
wise a long running transaction could have just completed when you began
the snap?

Subject: wait time is huge compared with cpu time


Hi

I have a HP-UX Server running Oracle 8.1.7.4, there are 6 CPUs.

I have a statspack report which shows this (2 hours interval)

I was wondering how can we get over 69000 seconds waits in 2 hours with
6 CPUs? That is much larger than

3600seconds * 6CPUs * 2hours 

TIA

Alex
