Ouch. That machine is at the bottom end of what's needed. I'm impressed that you even have it running, as the realistic spec is usually given around P600/512M and the minimum is P233/256M.

OTOH, it will be great for showing and verifying performance improvement techniques as long as you don't swap much.

In your case, shutting down Oracle is truly legitimate, as attempting anything at the same time as the database-instance is running will likely be painfully slow.
