Re: RAMSAN Experience

Do you have some reproducible test cases with performance metrics that demonstrate that these hidden parameters do indeed better performance and quantify any gains?

I guess it seems very odd to me that if the default values of these hidden parameter are suboptimal then why doesn't Oracle just change them to be optimal? (I know this seems to be your point, however mine is, there must be more to it)
