It is very hard to say why your system is slow. There are many things you can do to cut down on heavy disk I/O, most of which involve seperating files to avoid disk contention. As for the user profile message. This is not likly causing any of the performance problems. The user profile is how ORACLE assigns/revokes privilages to the Database. Setting this up is operating system specific and simply involves executing a script. See your SQL users guide for info pertaining to your platform.
