Depending on your circumstances, ASS Management can eliminate severe contention on the freelists / freelist groups area. However, because Oracle is overgenerous with its allocation of bitmap blocks (which may turn out to be in excess of 1% of your database), you may end up thrashing your system because most of your buffer space is flooded with hot BMBs and the data has to keep thrashing on and off disk.
