Not really a question but a topic in DBA-Village which is worth to follow (or participate).

I think that this is potentially very important for SE2. I've been looking at it for SPARC processors. This doc

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35434_01/html/E23807/highipc.html

suggests that if I have a T4 (8 cores, 8 threads per core, clock speed 3GHz) then with the default config threading=max-throughput any one of my 16 permitted running Oracle processes will run at only 3/8GHz, whereas if if I go for threading=max-ipc I will have only 8 running processes but they can run at the full 3GHz.

This is indeed a good remark.

Not as good as I thought. My SA tells me that the doc I referenced is recently outdated and that in the current release of SPARC/Solaris the threaded attribute is deprecated, and instead one implements "Complete Power". The idea is that idle threads will not reduce the GHz avaialble to active threads, but I can find no detail on this.
