Any system has an infinite capacity for waiting, even in a finite period of
time. There's some more detail on the issue on pp215-216 of the Optimizing
Oracle Performance book.
But I think in your case, I may get to save this as one more example of "statspack messes up." I can't tell from the line wrapping. Is it saying that the total time waited for the 'latch free' timed event is 56,629,674,849 centiseconds? If so, then:
56,629,674,849 cs = 566,296,748.49 seconds = 157,304.65 hours = 6,554.36 days = 17.94 years
Hmm.

Subject: Can we trust these numbers ?
Hi
I am intrigued that sometimes I get statspack reports that show very bi=
g
figures on the event wait
times.
Look the total wait time of the latch free: 56,629,674,849 cs.
It gives one average time of 1,029,784 ms or 1030 seconds (17 hours).
What can be wrong ?
Thanks for any hint
