RE: Freelist Contention

You have to learn to listen to your database, grasshoppa'. A good alternative to the Buddhist and kung fu techniques is the v$waitstat table. If you see accumulating time for 'extent map' or 'free list', then you know that you have to rebuild the table with more free lists. To see the actual segments you'll have to use v$session_wait, v$access, v$bh and some other beautiful v$ tables.
