Nope, only thing we did was go from db_block_buffers to db_cache_size,
set an sga_max_size, and dropped a bunch of _ parameters that had
accumulated over the years.

Did you change any init.ora settings? (shared_pool_size, shared_pool_reserved_size, etc.)

Subject: Moving to 9i.....
Ok, we're in the midst of moving one of our primary systems to 9i. With the same codebase, going from 8i (32bit on Solaris 8) to 9i (64 bit, on Solaris 8), suddenly, I'm seeing lots of system CPU activity. %sys cpu consumption is running 2 to 1 over %usr, huge numbers of system calls and spins on mutex, according to mpstat. For some reason, Oracle is doing LOTS more system calls. I tried trussing a couple of the hot server processses, I see lots and lots of poll(), pread() and times() sys calls. Inside the db, this translates to lots and lots of latch free on cache buffers chains and library cache. But, I suspect that it's secondary due to the CPU staravtion caused by the heavy syscall activity.
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome......

PS Just moved from (db_block_buffers, db_keep_pool,db_recycle_pool) to (db_cache_size, db_keep_cache_size, db_recycle_size, and are setting a sga_max_size) and also, no automatic undo.
