RE: Latch ContentionDid anyone reply?
I have a threaded batch process running in which all the threads are pretty much doing the same thing. I have another report which shows total IO, CPU, REDO and more by session. When you look at this report (basically workload) all of the #'s and times are pretty much the same. Meaning all of the threads are processing about the same amount of work. However, if you look below I get these usual spikes in Buffer Busy waits and they correlate to specific sessions. it looks like the spikes occur during a checkpoints. It is strange because it looks like just a couple session accumulate all of the buffer busy time instead of all of the sessions.
