Brian,

        Are you positive that the prob is Oracle? Windows 95+NT do not always release memory back to the OS when an MS app is closed: system must be rebooted.

        If Oracle IS the prob, have you tuned it? You don't mention that you took any Oracle tuning steps.

        Under what conditions is it running slow? After what events occur? How long does it take before it begins running slow after those events? Can you provide more details?
