Hi Greg, Maybe not one, but what about two? At the same time v$system_event is checked a couple of times, so you can see a time slice, v$sysstat can be checked, focusing on CPU used by this session, parse time cpu and recursive cpu usage. One view gives wait time, one gives CPU time.

check all the parameters that make up your SGA not just the shared_pool, eg. block size, block_buffers ,etc. If you need more O/S allocated memory , which is what it appears to be, talk to the SA and then will adjust otherwise you are going to have to reduce some things. Peace ! Mike
