RE: Should we stop analyzing?

The CBO will do dynamic sampling automatically provided the conditions are met. The conditions that need to be met depend on the dynamic_sampling initialization parameter in effect for the session. The default is 1 which practically disables dynamic sampling. 0 will totally disable it but IMHO the conditions for dynamic_sampling=1 are so rare (in practice) that one can regard it as off.
BTW, even if the CBO goes to dynamic sampling that does not guarantee that it will use the statistics it did gather this way.
