Vivek: To combat the latch free- cache buffer chain problem, I would first check in v$latch_children if the contention is even across all cache buffer chain latches. If this is the case case (most of the time it is not) , I would add more cache buffer latches. If this is not the case, as ARUN suggested, I would find out which buffers are hot and I would investigate WHY they are hot. (Ussually because of a bad SQL-- you should fix them! ) According to BBW problem, try to identify the segment involved and the cause (p1=file , p2=block and p3=cause from a 10046 trace) and then according to p3 there are some changes that can be done.
