Morning listers!

I am having performance problems with this database, transactions ar running very slow and I am not sure if I have choose the right optimizer mode...

AIX 4.2.1, Oracle 7.3.4, 30 GB Database, 1 GB Real Memory, 500 MB SGA, 70 concurrent users, mostly OLTP transactions.

I have tunned init parameters the best I can we the resources I have:

db_files = 70
db_writers = 4
db_file_multiblock_read_count = 16
db_block_buffers = 57600
db_block_size = 8192

shared_pool_size = 157286400
processes = 200
dml_locks = 1500
log_buffer = 655360

sequence_cache_entries = 800
sequence_cache_hash_buckets = 89
log_checkpoint_interval = 80000

optimizer_mode=CHOOSE
session_cached_cursors = 300

sort_area_size=1048576
hash_area_size=262144
hash_multiblock_io_count=4
hash_join_enabled=TRUE

always_anti_join=HASH
job_queue_processes=8

35 rollback segments, inital 1MB, next 1MB, optimal 30 MB 8 multiplexed redologs, 30 MB each

I tried FIRST_ROWS, analyzing the tables, but users claimed that performance was getting worse, so I chaged it to Choose. Always analyzing the tables....

but, everytime I analyze the tables, performance gets worse. Is this a normal behavior?

Any advice will be welcome!

thanks is advance,
