Oracle database server poor performance

741376Jun 19 2010 — edited Jun 19 2010
Hi all,

I meet strange problem of mi oracle 9i database on Linux 4 32bit REd hat
the performance is very poor, load average very high (65) for 2 processor quad core (8 virtual processors) the RAm is 4 Gb.
The problem seems memory as the memory usage is 100% from out monitoring tool.
My concerns is when i run vmstat the idle processor is around 65 but Wa is 35. see the output below:

[oracle@cdranalysis ~]$ w
11:28:36 up 8 days, 2:04, 5 users, load average: 67.20, 69.11, 70.11
