Hi,

I ran statspack report against one of my production databases(9.2.0.3) and
following is part of it.

34.2% of time is spent on "PX Deq: Table Q qref", I do not know any thing
about this event. 
I searched metalink, did not find much except that it is a parallel query
related.

The weird thing is we do not run much of parallel queries and yet this event
appears on 
the report every time I run it.

Does anybody know any thing about this wait event??



Here is my Instance Summary from statspack report
