There were discussions about this before.  You can
search the archive for it.  v$open_cursor and the statistic
"opened cursor current" doesn't always agree.
v$open_cursor show cursors parsed and not closed, while
the "opened cursor current" shows cursors opened and not closed.
v$open_cursor doesn't track for unparsed dynamic cursors so
it some times doesn't show all cursors that count toward
the max open cursor parameter.

No takers on this from the perf tuning gurus?  Please don't make me open a
TAR.  Think of the children...
