Connor,

Forms is dumb ... I mean it doesn't think it is important to use dbms_application info, you have to do it manually. The statistics parameter ... gosh .. never got it to work right against 7x, 8x and 9x ...

For my developers, I tell them use use,

FRD (Forms Runtime Diagnostics) if they want to know which built-in is blowing up the form ... FRD also has different options and you can also use trace diagnostics with forms.
PL/SQL Profiler (to see where they spend lot of time writing redundant code)
dbms_support.start_trace for SQL performance problems.

So, there are different techniques for different problems.

there is a stats=yes (or similar) parameter which creates a trace file for a form execution which can then be used to check sql performance (the most common cause of 'slow' forms).

i haven't checked, but forms by default might pop some things into module/action columns which you could see in v$session and v$sql. if forms is not doing it by default, then its a very good practice to start doing this yourself (see: dbms_application_info)
