As I began to ponder this (I asked the resident marmot, but he must be a SQL*Server expert...), I came up with several questions. Where in memory (sga or other) do the x$ constructs reside? Some of them are 'populated' by reading file-based structures (control file, datafile headers, undo segments). Does this information reside in memory or is it loaded each time the x$ construct is accessed? What happens when these x$constructs begin to consume large amounts of memory? Is there an upper bound?
