I've been sampling active SQL at a rate of 5 Hz and saving the wait information to a table. Here is one example.

   SELECT RUNDATE, EVENT, SECONDS_IN_WAIT, STATE, SEQ#  FROM STATEMENT_WAIT_INFO WHERE USERNAME = 'ARF' AND  ADDRESS = '8992E2C8' AND HASH_VALUE = 3642756738

RUNDATE                    EVENT                     SECONDS_IN_WAIT STATE                     SEQ#

Note that the state is "WAITING" so seconds_in_wait should be the Actual Wait time in Seconds. See "Oracle Performance Tuning 101" pg 32. Note, also the seq# number. I am intrigued by the jump from 8 seconds to 25 seconds for the seconds_in_wait column where the clock time only advanced six seconds. Also the jump from 69 to 86 seconds of wait_time between 10:43:00 PM and 10:43:06 PM. Interestingly both of these great leaps are 17 seconds, and both occurred just after the system time had changed to the next minute. These could both be coincidences.

Any thoughts about what's going on here.
