Re: TKPROF output -- high current gets for INSERT

 From the "Elapsed times include waiting on following events" I conclude that this is (at least) Oracle 9i, but what Release/patch level exactly? When you are saying "I have freelists and initrans set appropriately", can we assume that the table is in a non-ASSM tablespace? A client of mine has a similar situation where an insert takes an inordinate amount of time, associated with large amounts of current gets. It got extremely bad when they hit the ASSM bug in 9.2.0.5 so the affected tables were hastily moved to a non-ASSM tablespace. Even with the tables in the non-ASSM tablespace the current gets / row ratio is ~30 (yours is "only" ~20). The inserts there are simple "insert .. select" and I've come to blame the high current get counts on the fact that a similar number of rows gets deleted from the table as are eventually re-inserted without a commit in between (which incidentally is the recipe for the 9.2.0.5 ASSM bug).
Do you have a similar situation where rows are also deleted in the same transaction, or are they pure additions?
