RE: SOFT PARSE RATIO?

Can anyone tell me more about this? I have a 7.3.4 database that appears to be doing an awful lot of parsing even though it uses bind variables. How do I tell for sure it is doing too much parsing and is there a way to control it assuming the app is already using bind variables?
