Instead of guessing, why not trace your sessions and look for the actual cause of your problem? I haven't had the time to check, but hopefully that bug on 9.2.0.4 that rendered tracefiles almost useless has been fixed.

BTW: As a note to other readers that turned up lately: If you think you've got a performance problem, grab the next copy of 'Optimal Oracle Performance' (Cary Milsap, published by O'Reilly) you can get your hands on and stop guessing.
