hi,

At OS level is any resource (RAM, CPU, Disk Network) a bottleneck?
Is every SQL slow or only some subset (which)?
What is still working OK/normally?

But the very first question is: "where time is spent"?
If only 5% of the time is spent in the DB, even if you can reduce it to 0 the overall increase in performances will be no more than 5%.

Thats a query I use in my database every time someone complains "it is slow...."

select DISTINCT s.sid,s. SERIAL#, event, p1text, p1, p2text, p2, 
                p3text, p3,
                wait_time, seconds_in_wait, state, 
                osuser, program,client_info, s.MODULE, 
                sql_text
  from v$session s
  join v$sql q ON q.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
 where event not in ('SQL*Net message from client', 
                     'SQL*Net message to client', 
                     'jobq slave wait')
  AND  event not like 'PX Deq Credit%';


It basically gives me a quick "which user is waiting for what database events, with which running sql".

95% of the time someone user is complaining about slowness that catches the problematic part for me.

(If the cause is really the database)

1. your query should be problematic on very busy systems (unsorted long output, which is difficult for analysis),
2. a complete list of idle events is much longer,
3. some of 'PX Deq Credit%' events aren't idle.

So you have to improve your query.
