Ramon,

if you find the performance of the database is good, why are you trying to fix it??????

Cache Hit Ratio is not the be-all and end-all of tuning. If the cache hit ratio is high, and you have large numbers of wait events, then your database needs tuning.

If the cache hit ratio is low, but there are no wait events then your database does not need tuning.
