There is no such thing as an "idle event." If it consumes someone's response time, then you have to deal with it. If it tallies time that's not part of someone's response time, then ignore it.

The key is to collect session-level data for exactly the time interval during which the observed session is having a performance problem.

The ambiguous answers you're finding all boil down to whether you've collected your data "properly" or not. If you've collected your data improperly, then it's an idle event. If you've collected your data properly (re: paragraph 2), then it's not.

Has anyone run into excessive waits on this event? After running my statspack through oraperf.com, I see that I am waiting ~80% of response time
on this event. I have read on metalink that this is NOT an idle event, and
on asktom.oracle.com that it IS an idle event. We have MTS configured, but
all the clients are set to use dedicated server. Should I try reduce this
event by tuning MTS or is it truely an idle event?

Thanks
Erik
