v$session slow?

Hi,

in our production database we would like to use an update trigger on an table, which accesses v$session in order to extract the information about the person who is currently performing this update.

I thought I have read something about *not* using v$session for such purposes because it may be very slow.

Is this correct? If yes, what other methods are there?

Regards,
