Do you have a lot of locally managed tablespaces? Doing a read from
dba_extents can cause quite an I/O with locally managed tablespaces.

My 2 cents.

I have deleted the statistics from 'SYS' and SYSTEM' as suggested by Suzy
and made sure that they were gone by issuing the query:

select table_name,owner
from dba_tables
where owner in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
and last_analyzed is not null;

It returned no rows this time. But why is my query: select count(*) from
dba_extents is still sitting there? Is there anything else I should do?
Restart the DB/something??

Thanks for any response.

I knew someone on the list  would have it :)  thanks Suzy.

actually, I'd do dbms_stats.delete_schema_stats('SYS') this time through to
fix
the problem and then change the dbms_stats command to
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats instead of database

dbms_stats.gather_database_stats has a bug, it analyzes SYS objects.

>From Metalink:
Bug:1422285 is a severity 3 bug that was logged for the
dbms_stats.gather_database_stats collecting statistics on the data
dictionary objects (FET$ was the example). This bug is fixed in 9i. A
workaround is to execute dbms_stats.gather_database_statistics +
dbms_stats.delete_schema_stats('SYS').
