It's only a problem if you spend too much time doing parsing; the mere ratio tells you nothing.
But if you do spend too much time parsing, (or waiting for library cache or shared pool latch; maybe even row cache latch) you need to look at how your applications are written. The simple answer is that anything that repeats frequently must be parsed once per session only. I wrote a white paper on this issue while I was at Oracle, go to otn.oracle.com/deploy/performance and pick 'Efficient use of bind variables and cursor sharing'. It also mentions the init.ora parameters that can somehow help. Thanks, Bjørn.
