Researching latch efficiency

Hi everyone -

Forgive me if this has been asked before...  how / where can I research
what the various wait events mean? I'm seeing an event called "messages"
and that is such a common word it is challenging for search engines to
identify when I search "oracle wait event messages".

__thanks

 

p.s.  using Ora10.2.0.4 on HPUX Itanium
