Folks

Cause was ENQUEUE Locking.

After 15 minutes of execution of the Benchmark run, One process would Hold a Lock while all the rest would go into WAITING for EXCLUSIVE lock.

Same found from Output of $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utllockt.sql

This correspondingly caused CPU Usage to crash down from 50 %(observed from start of run up to 15 minutes) Down to Zero % (post 15 minutes scenario).

Thanks again to all - Mladen, Raj, Jim, Mcdonald, Cary

Detailed discussion is available in Millsap/Holt Optimizing Oracle Performance, pages 141-149 and, perhaps of particular interest to Raj in light of Mladen's comment, pages 161-165.

Subject: RE: CPUs NOT getting consumed ?

CPU is measured only after the SQL stops executing. CPU consumption is NOT measured in real time.

CPU consumption is meaningful only for the statements that are not being actively executed.

I don't suppose your app will be continuously using CPU. If it is, you have a beast of a problem to handle. Could it be that your processi is doing I/O and hence not using CPU? Another minor question, why are you worried that is isn't using the CPU.
