Hi,
Btw, the scheduling latency problem is where where timed_os_statistics comes in handy - it will populate the "OS Wait-cpu (latency) time" statistic in v$sesstat and v$sysstat, so you can actually measure how long time was wasted on waiting in CPU runqueues.
There's also an OS_CPU_WAIT_TIME statistic in V$OSSTAT (10g+) which gives you pretty much the same info.
