Changing the hidden parameter _MEMORY_BROKER_STAT_INTERVAL is actually described in MOS as a work-around for cases where V$SGA_RESIZE_OPS shows alternating shared pool and buffer cache resizes within minutes of each other. See MOS-note 7189722.8
The command used there is:
alter system set "_memory_broker_stat_interval"=999; --- 999sec

Note however that this only seems valid for 10g, not 11g ...
