This is what I got from metalink for an earlier case.

'single-task message' waits are Waiting for a client message, but in single task mode. Single task mode is when a process communicates directly with the SGA, as opposed to communicating through a background shadow process. even though you are using the a client-server setup (as opposed to single-task), single task is still used internaly for some operation.

Also opsdiag.sql ignores this wait event as an idle wait event.

Rick:

ANjo Kolk classifies this wait event under one of the IDLE wait events.i.e nothing to worry if you see them in excessive.

Hey all,

Does anyone have an idea as to how to tackle "single-task" message waits on 8.1.7? The most I could find on this is that it may have to do with Context indexes, which are referenced in the massive package I'm helping test with a developer.

I'd really like to drop the amount of waits I'm seeing on this because it accounts for ~300-400ms/sec wait according to Spotlight. I had a 10046 trace running too, but I'm having problems setting max_dump_file_size for another process, so I only have 10MB worth of logfile (about 3 minutes of a 30 minute process). But that's another post. :)

TIA,
Rich
