Slow Database - v$session has lots of active with 00 as sql_address

bobonacusOct 1 2012 — edited Oct 1 2012
Server:
Windows 2008 R2 x64
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 Standard Edition

I recently applied the Oracle® Database Server Version 11.2.0.1 Patch 16

I have several databases running on this box with the same application.

Since then I've had lots of customers complaining about slow systems. The server has plenty of RAM available

I also have several other servers all on the same versions, same patch, running the same application with no issues.


Looking at v$session there are often lots of active sessions that have a sql_address of "00". I've never seen this before and I regularly look at v$session, as you can see for below these have been running for a while. The sessions do drop off but I am at a loss as to what is happening, any ideas?
select username, last_call_et, sid, serial#, user#, status, sql_address, sql_hash_value
 from v$session
where username is not null and status = 'ACTIVE'
order by last_call_et desc, sid

SQL> /
