Until I have seen the 10053 traces I do not believe that the access plans are identical. Most of the time if the performance of a query changes when index statistics are deleted it is because the default statistics, especially clustering factor is drastically different than the real statistics.
I have not worked with a 8.0 database in 4 years and can't remember if the version emits STAT entries to the trace with a 10046 trace. That would be the ultimate word on what access path was used.

We have a 8.0.4 database using choose optimizer. We have a query that access
a single table using index.

If we analyze the table and indexes - query takes 8 min to complete

If we analyze table and then delete stats on indexes - query runs in two
minutes.

Explain plan is the same in both cases. I did a event 10053 trace but could
not find any difference between the choices the CBO makes except when the
indexes are not analyzed it thinks the cost is low.

Any ideas why the query would execute faster - with the same explain plan -
if the CBO thinks its cost is low ?

PS : We ruled out the effects of caching in the buffer by reversing the
order of the tests..

TIA
