row cache objects latch and shared_pool_size

Row cache objects latch:
........................

        In order to reduce contention for this latch, we need to 
        tune the data dictionary cache. In Oracle7 this basically
means 
        increasing the size of the shared pool (SHARED_POOL_SIZE) 

Could it be the other way around? Could the shared_pool_size be too large? how can one tell?
