I am surprised no one raised the issue of invalidations in the shared pool caused by Stats gathering, and the parsing/reloading load that is caused _after_ the extra I/O and changed plans due to ANALYZEs....
I have this 250Gb Apps database that is analyzed once a month and we have not suffered due to incorrect or stale statistics. Projects in the new year include revisting the Stats gathering schedules of all our 90+ databases, some of which are analyzed daily :( Have a happy, blessed new year all!
