We are running Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7 and have been having steady
performance degradatation over the last couple of days.
I've checked in v$sysstat and see the following:
session uga memory 2.5491918486856E15
session uga memory max 1.84467440285901E19


I'm not even sure this matters, but these values seem HUGE!
