Re: Is TNSPING = 1000ms OK? Oracle says it is

Why different ping times for listeners on different ports? Well, in general, each port will be serviced by a different listener. On a server that is starved for memory, one of the listeners (an inactive one) could be paged out of memory, while the other (a much more active one) remains paged in. This *could* make a large difference in response time. (Note: this is conjecture! Most OSes can do quite a bit of paging in 1000ms.)

It's also possible for each listener to be listening on different IPs (and network interfaces), and I would not be surprised to find that this can also make a big difference under certain circumstances.
