Re: Native compiled code *much* slower??

It really looks like a bug and/or some misconfigurations, but before the conclusion, I would try tracing API call.

1. OS process level trace - strace/truss/....
2. Oracle call stack trace. For instance, http://dioncho.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/pure-sql-version-of-ostakproffrom-tanel-poder http://blog.tanelpoder.com/2008/10/31/advanced-oracle-troubleshooting-guide-part-9-process-stack-profiling-from-sqlplus-using-ostackprof/

Even if this is a bug, above raw tracing data would be a big help to diagnose your problem.
