Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: see higher CPU usage after increase SGA
Thanks Bobak.
In fact, I did post the Logical IO count, (maybe line too long and you did not see it):)
from statspack report before and after increase SGA:
10GB data buffer: 47,990.70 consistent gets per second 11GB data buffer: 47,707.28 consistent gets per second. It seems pretty high, as our database is quite read intensive. Most of userview 100 page/item before they make a transaction.
[oracle_at_main-db1**biddb]$grep "parse time" *.lst
10gb.lst:parse time cpu 64,885 3.0 0.0 10gb.lst:parse time elapsed 70,835 3.3 0.0 11gb.lst:parse time cpu 63,586 3.0 0.0 11gb.lst:parse time elapsed 70,160 3.30.0
[oracle_at_main-db1**biddb]$grep "Logical reads" *.lst
10gb.lst: Logical reads: 47,990.70
626.99
11gb.lst: Logical reads: 47,707.28
623.26

and by reducing disk I/O, you allow Oracle to do more work, hence consume
more CPU. You mentioned that transactions were the same from one snapshot
to the other, but that doesn't count SELECT statements. Try also comparing
logical reads/sec. How do those numbers compare? What about Parse CPU?
