I'm trying to isolate high CPU consumers in a stressed application, and have noticed that I'm spending a lot of time doing recursive calls. Specifically, a high percentage of recursive calls and recursive CPU usage come from the following anonymous block:  

DECLARE job BINARY INTEGER :=job; next_date .....  

My question is this: Are the recursive cpu/call stats that are accumulating a result of the procedures scheduled within DBMS_JOB (there are a handful of these procedures), or is this likely due to DBMS_JOB (and whatever logic it uses to keep itself doing what it should) itself?  

Thanks
