Keeping The System Running Well

This is a rather vague post but basically are there any applications or tests (either 3rd party or native) that can test if my mac is running smoothly? I have not been impressed or noticed any difference since the switch to 10.6 and I have even had issues with crashes, shutting down, and speed. Thanks for your help.

HI Tyler,
Several things come to mind...
Boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility. If it finds errors on the startup disk, Disk Utility can repair them.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
You can also boot from your install disc and run the Apple Hardware Test, instructions Here.
Go here for hlep to Maintain Mac OS X
The most important thing you can do is back up your important data in case you should have to reformat the drive.

How to force the display to sleep, while keeping the computer running?

I'm running some compression and transcoding programs on my iMac G5 (iSight) that keeps the CPU at 100% for hours at a time. My Energy Saver prefernces is set to sleep the display after a few minutes, but never to sleep the computer or the hard disk.
Like I'd expect with such a high CPU load, my computer's screen does not go to sleep.
Is there a program or command line utility that I can run to force my screen to go to sleep, but keep the computer running?
iMac G5 17" (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

To put your display only to sleep;
Go to System Preferences, click on 'energy saver', check the 'Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for' box, and then set the time. Note; this just puts the display to sleep, not the whole computer. Your hard disk will keep running. I find this much more convienent than putting the computer in 'full sheep'. It wakes up much quicker without some of the hassle some computers display coming up from full sleep.

Graphic issue but goes away if I keep the fans running

So I have a graphics problem where I end up with lines covering the screen and screwed up video, however I am now certain this is due to overheating however I am not able to get new thermal paste for a week or two because of shipping. I am asking you if there is a way to keep the fans running at maximum output as when I have booted up the mac from a firewire drive, the graphic issues go away, but as soon as the fans start to die down it comes back within seconds.
Thanks

The graphics issue may well not be lack of thermal paste, but a failing logic board. Have you run Apple Hardware Test or Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

How to patch clustered SOA domain keeping the domain running?

Hi All,
We want to patch SOA 11.1.1.3.0 to SOA 11.1.1.6.0. The SOA 11.1.1.3.0 environment is a clustered environment( 2-node cluster). Also database schemas are present in RAC database.
I know the patching process but my concern is I have to patch production environment and we have to minimize the downtime. Can we patch a WebLogic + SOA domain keeping the environment running ?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Roshni Shankar

Hi Roshni,
Check this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/core.1111/e10106/busreq.htm
It says, During the rolling patching of a cluster, each server in the cluster is individually patched and restarted while the other servers in the cluster continue to host your application
Always keep a backup before applying a patchset to your environment.
Thanks,

Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?

It used to be when you compiled your kernel (at least ten years ago), you would get a significant speed boost. However, with the speed of machine nowadays, I wonder how much, if any. Does compiling the kernel have a significant increase in daily performance or otherwise? If so, what portion of the system does it makes faster than before? In short, Is it worth it? I appreciate any comments.

The title of this thread doesn't limit responses to just redoing the kernel since it says "system run significantly faster".
The kernel is not the system...the system runs from HDD and ram.
To speed up that process, run everything possible in ram for system speed up.
I think for 500 packages loading from scratch to desktop in 45 seconds is fast. And running after that in ram is super fast system speed "significantly faster".
The speed I quote is possible now. With UDMA capability in the kernel, at least half of the install time is probable.
And that is for over 500 packages into KDE no less!
Using flash in IDE removes the latent search from the system and therefore must be faster.
Changing the kernel will indeed speed up the system...but only if it includes UDMA for the flash drives already available but not configured with the present kernels.
Using flash drives for ide cache repos will allow faster boot time, and reduce the load on the system. You don't normally run many,many programs at once so put them in cache with a script to permit fast loading .
That is "system running significantly faster" and all in ram, the fastest in the computer.
no
Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?
compiling kernel, not whatever
I did not suspect that this requires explanation?
but if you really want the noise, let's leave "faster?"
and answer is: yes/no
whatever that means.
or you are joking
anyway seems that results may vary.

Has anyone used bootcamp to play PC games? If so, do the games run well and without lag?

I want to use bootcamp to install windows on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011). It runs Mac games well but I am afraid it will slow down my computer once I install Windows 7.

Won't slow your Mac down if you use Bootcamp, Windows installs on a partition on the slower 50% of the boot hard drive from the bottom up, however that shouldn't affect PC game performance all that much, only when loading data it might not be as fast as it can be. Likely hardly noticable really.
OS X might feel a bit more snappy as it loads from the faster top 50% of the boot drive.
If you have a SSD then it doesn't matter about the drive performance.
Outside of that Windows will run on the CPU and dedicated video card just about the same, as since OS X and Windows are in seperate parittons they boot seperatly and thus have full control of the hardware.
Now if you also install virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion that can copy the BootCamp partiton to use Windows in a window in OS X, and you run other programs in OS X and Windows/programs at the same time, that could slow down your Mac as it's running two operating systems and several programs at the same time.
A powerful Mac, a recent 15" or better should have no problem, as long as there is 4GB of RAM or more. However for best 3D game performance it's better to direct boot into Bootcamp to let Window shave full hardware control and Direct X drives.
Virtual machine software uses the OS X OpenGl drivers, so any program in there will have to use Open GL drivers.
The 13" is better off using Bootcamp and direct booting, it won't be good at games anyway as it doesn't have a more powerful dedicated video card.
Ideally Windows 3D games should be played on a dedicated Windows 3D gaming tower, this way the video cards can be exchanged for newer ones which on the Mac you can't.
If you intent ot Windows #3D game, go that route and don't bother with gaming on a Mac as you can't upgrade the hardware. (or get video cards for the MacPro if sticks around, it hasn't been updated in ages)

When using Apple TV, is the system running iTunes forced to handle the media?

I've got an Apple TV, a PC running iTunes with Home Sharing turned on, and a NAS (network attached storage) device. All of the iTunes content (music, movies, etc.) is stored on the NAS. When I first set up the Apple TV, everything worked well. I recall watching a movie (stored on the NAS) on the apple tv and seeing little to traffic on the PC's network card. i.e. the apple tv had (apparently?) determined where the movie was located and pulled the content direct from the NAS. Note: the apple tv and PC are both connected to the network wirelessly but the NAS is hard-wired to the switch/wireless access point.
Flash forward a few months (and a number of ATV updates) and the apple tv has been running VERY slowly to the point where it's essentially unusable. It works fine for NetFlix or YouTube or other content coming from the Internet but can't pull and present any local media.
I've wiped the apple tv unit and set it back up. I've wiped iTunes (full uninstall and removed original library) and had it re-find all of the media. I now even have the media location referenced as \\server\share\path\file instead of <drive letter>:\path\file
But it is still running horribly. After some more checking, I now see that when I'm asking the Apple TV to access media from the NAS, the PC's network card is working furiously. For some reason, it appears the PC is being forced to pull the content from the NAS and then forward it to the ATV. This is terribly inefficient and is making a mess of what was an otherwise great media center experience.
Anyone have any thoughts? If this setup never worked, I think I'd be fine. But the fact that it once worked the way I expected it to but now doesn't is very frustrating. Obviously, the PC needs to be involved upfront to share the catalog and notify the player where the files are located. But, after that, it should be able to step out of the picture (no pun intended) and let everything work.

I assume no other tasks on the computer are using internet/network data concurrently reducing the bandwidth available for AppleTV.
I'm not surprised at the 50-60% (if that's when it's working ok) as AppleTV will take the media stream faster than the rate it needs to play back.
Are you maybe playing HD now and SD in the past?
AC
Nope. Made sure the PC was nice and quiet and off of a fresh cold start.
As for the SD/HD question - no to that as well. The content hasn't changed. Same files on the same NAS.
Posted my question to facebook last night to see if my friends had any thoughts. I was surprised to hear that two other friends with ATVs had pretty much the same problem I was describing (worked great after initial setup but slowed down considerably recently). And they both experienced the issue around the same time (starting about a month ago).
One fixed it by resetting the ATV and setting it back up again. That hasn't worked for me. My other friend said the problems cleared up after adding iTunes as an allowed application in Windows firewall. So I'll see if I can fiddle with some settings there. Don't recall there being too many options but it's at least an avenue of attack. I'll report back if I learn anything.

Keeping the server running

Is there a way to keep just server class up or it's up as long as other application uses that. What I mean I whote that:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class MyServer extends ServerSocket implements ActionListener {
     public MyServer() throws IOException {
          super(4444, 0, InetAddress.getByName("localhost"));
          Timer timer = new Timer(100, this);
          timer.start();
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          if (this.isClosed()) {
               System.out.println("Ups! We're closed");
               System.exit(1);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
               new MyServer();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);
}and I want it to run separately. Just launch it and it should run until it's killed. How to do that?

Okay I've come up with such solution:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class MyServer extends ServerSocket implements ActionListener {
     private static final int ALIVE=1;
     private static final int DEAD=0;
     private static int state=ALIVE;
     public MyServer() throws IOException {
          super(4444, 0, InetAddress.getByName("localhost"));
          Timer timer = new Timer(100, this);
          timer.start();
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          if (this.isClosed()) {
               System.out.println("Ups! We're closed");
               System.exit(1);
     public static int getState(){
          return state;
     public static void kill(){
          state=DEAD;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
               MyServer server = new MyServer();
               while (server.getState()==ALIVE){
                    Thread.sleep(100);
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);
          } catch (InterruptedException ie){
               ie.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);

How to open a message popup and keep the sequence running ?

I have some steps in my sequence to initialize communication ports that takes a few seconds. As i have the trace off i want to display a message popup to tell the user that the sequence is doing the init. After the init steps are done i want to close the popup out of the sequence without pressing any button.
Is there a possibility in TestStand to do this ?
The normal Message popup stays until a key is pressed and even pauses the sequence while active.
Thank for help.

You could call your message popup in a subsequence as new execution and terminate this execution programmatically after your init steps have finished.
In order to do this you have to specify (module) the sequence call step that calls your subsequence:
-Multithreading and Remote Execution = Run in a New Execution
-Settings: Initally Hidden and Tracing disable, Restartable, Close Window when done, Wait for Execution to complete: Do not wait, Process Model Option: Do not use a Process Model
-Store an Object Reference to the New Execution in: e.g. Locals.ExecutionRef
After your Init steps you insert a ActvieX/COM Action Step that terminates the new execution:
-Object Reference: Locals.ExecutionRef
-Automation Server: NI TestStand API 3.1
-Object Class: Execution
-Call Method or Access Property: Call Method
-Method: Terminate
This will terminate your new execution showing the message popup.

HT1677 My iphone 4S's iOS-6 makes slow the system running.

Hi,
as above memtioned, after installing iOS-6, my iphone-4S is slow in running, such as can't open mail, camera and sometime stop.
how can i slove it, do i need to restore the last version.

There is no supported method to downgrade the iOS.
Before leaping to silly conclusions... try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

How do I keep my system running continuously?

I just installed a static IP, and I need my HP p7-1297c / Windows 7 Home Premium to run, without having it fall asleep automatically. Please advise. Thank you -- Cheryl.

Hi,
Go into the Control Panel ----> Power Options then click on Change Plan Settings. Now change the sleep options to NEVER. You might also need to go into the Advanced Power Settings and change the Sleep after, Allow Hybrid and Hibernate settings to never. There is also a Hard Drive spin down option.

My KT3 Ultra Experience (from the nightmare to a running well system)

Well First...
I don't speak a well english, maybe because still think in spanish, so maybe find many gramatical errors.
the very very begin
The history begins with a terrible electric shock in my house, i got a Athlon XP 1700+ with a cheap PC Chips Board (810)..yeah the all in one board (video, modem, ethernet, sound) build my first system with a mixture of expectatives and dreams with my first AMD athlon XP , the system running well, before got the "great idea" to plug a Zoltrix Genie TV card for record South Park, everything is OK, so, i think that i abuse the luck, and a rainy night, i surf the net ( a XXX one... ATK... never forget that site after this) a electric shock enter trought the tv cable searching ground, someone that got this experience maybe feels a demon in a box, a white light come out from the back of the system and hit the isolated regulator ( with the sparks and all the stuff ) the light goes out and a tasty barbecue smell fill completly the room.
ohhh...
the list of cooking components:
   Athlon XP 1700+
   PC Chips 810 (a/v/r/s)
   Maxtor HDD 40GB
   Zoltrix Genie TV
   Mouse (generic)
   Keyboard (generic)
   Microsoft sidewinder gamepad
The miracle pieces:
   256MB DIMM sticks from crucial (PC 100) two of them
   External CD Burner HP CD-Writer 8230e (USB)
   Philips Monitor 17'
i learn to never watch a porno site in a rainy night... it's really bad for your system
build another system "da plan!"
in a trip to Bogotá i search in the computer mall called UNILAGO, the new system board, someone callit MOBO, my idea are this:
A Boxed Board. Candidates like ASUS , Gygabyte, MSI, with the VIA 333 chip are required.
we search in all the place, asus show its A7V333 model, but its too expensive in the price that this guy offered (maybe think that i don't search the pricewatch.com page before go to the mall... je je) in a place some guy show me a very nice box... i think the first impression counts, its the kt3 ultra board in her shiny box, next tactic ask for minimun price (...no minimun price got this board...) so i pay 360 thousand pesos for it.
wen come back to Cali ( the place i live) and after got some pesos in my bag i go to the computer mall in Cali called La passarella (remember the argentinian soccer player?) for buy the components.....
the list is this:
   Athlon XP 1800+ BOXED (got the original AMD heatsink)
   DDR RAM PC2100 256 MB
   Genius Netscroll Optic
   Genius Keyboard
   CD-Rom LG 52 X
   Case with a 300W ATX Power Supply
   Realtek Ethernet Card (Encore)
   AGP Video card with the SIS chip 315 128MB of ram
   Genius Maxfire USB (i buyit for the cheap price and anyway i don't play too much in a computer so i dont need a Nvidia Ti thing or a gamepad expensive)
wen go to the house, plug all the stuff and the process it's fine, no complicate things occur, i do two modifications first
1)to the AMD heatsink, the clip come in the other side, so i need to unplug the Power ATX supply for attach it and don't want to do the same thing every time that retire the heatsink, i disarm the heatsink and turn the clip to the other side, no problems with this mod...
2)i don't use floppy disks... I HATE IT so the place of the floppy converts in the place for the D-Bracket with all the lights and two USB... nice because i perfored the case in the right way and the usb and the lights come in the front of the case...it's a easy mod...
all the things come well so turn it ON...
KT3 Ultra first Round!
well i don' pay much attention in the first time that power on the system and hit the del key.... nothing happens and a letters of searching array and scanning devices show... after this process the amibios screen shows (the blue one, and still today don't find the option for change the color scheme like te PC Chips amibios options got) in this point i know that the rule "search the instruction booklet" it's totally necessary for many options the options that i disable and some that enable are this:
    in integrated peripherals disable the ata raid option (remember the scan devices screen?) i plug a maxtor ATA 100 hard drive to the ide cable because don't know if this hard disk works with the Raid Option maybe not because is ata 100.. so disable the option
    in power management options i activate the CPU critical temperature to 70°C
    in advanced bios settings i enable the MSI link to the future screen... nice, SMART for HDD enable. In the boot secuence put first CD-rom and later HDD
    in standard CMOS settings put the hour...(uh!), and obvious disable the nasty floppy drive (BOOT CDS REPLACE THE NEED OF FLOPPY DRIVES...)
    in PC health disable the intrussion option, because i don't have the switch for the case...
    in frecuency and voltage i find the FSB in 100Mhz but i don't change anything in this point...
after this tiny modification, i save the changes and restart....
the system boot with a CD he he... with a image of the win98 boot disk, so i formated and fdisk the drive... tooooo fast in this point.
after partition the HDD in 5 pieces and formating every partition, i reboot the computer for installing Win98...
the installation goes normal, and install all the MSI software (only for know what apps are appreciable por me) i don't have any problems, install all the drivers for every single hardware piece and the system works well... so testing es the next point.
KT3 Ultra first test after the installation
well i feel that my job are easyly...(ji ji) and all the process go OK so testing my new machine gotme like a child.
i run the test of SiS for the AGP card ( 3D thrill ) the demo of the card got a cosmic scene, comes very fast, i try to watch if someone piloting the space ship, and maybe see something
the sound are good for the include sound chip in the board, put and test all the effects and test...ok ok... nice.
microsoft direct X got some testings so i run it too ... write in run command "dxdiag" and ready for the tests, in this point i feel free to install a copy of "formula 1 2002" in the machine some guy borrowme a copy, wen i try to install got a n error.... (the first one) and the game don't install ... i reject the installation and try another game, in this point i search the Athlon XP Oem.bmp file for branding my new system... je je, and hit the window key and pause and i find that my processor runs in 1.1 Mhz... (what!!!) if this CPU is a 1800 and this speed maybe is wrong....so i read the boocklet and find in the FSB option the way for put the CPU in his real Mhz...(1.53) in this point begins the troubles...
KT3 Ultra damage my CPU??????!!!!!
Wen enter to the bios i got direct for the FSB option and put it to 133Mhz maybe this thing it's easyly too, i think, i made and save the changes... and.....
A BLACK SCREEN COMES AND I SEE THE FOUR LEDS IN RED!!!!
AHHHH!, i thinks that this processor pases to a better life after this point, with shaking hands read again the boocklet and find the interpretation for the 4 red leds signal, damage or bad installed processor.
oh, so what i do...?
i continue reading for a little FAQ in the boocklet, and nothing, only a glossary, i call a friend to helpme... ( the true geek one) the guy tell me to reset the bios with the jumper... so, i don't loose anything with this and do it...
wen the computer reboots the signals come to life... (ufff!) and the scanning device creen shows again... so i need to save again my settings.
i do all the things and save, the system turns on and windows 98 load normal again... i try to fix the FSB thing in other time i think, and continue intalling some programs.
In my CDs find a copy of formula 1 2001 no de 2002 version, because this version i installed in my other fried system i installed in mine for show and prove the 3d card...
the installation works fine and terminate ok, wen i hit the icon to play, the 3d settings window appears i select some options 800x600 32bit color and press test, a blank screen comes with some little caracters, in some point wen the test come back my system frozes and nothing happens... OHHHHHHH! what happens?.... i think, i decided to check the temperature values because in this point think that my installation fails in the put heatsink process.
i load PC alert and find CPU temperature in 78°C... oh, it's too high i think so shutdown the system and check the heatsink for anything that miss in the first time.
i put again the heatsink an log to the bios for check the values....
this is the values of PChealth option in bios:
   Cpu temp : 71°C and stable in this value...it's high too
   System Temp : 38°C ...high too
   VCore      1.744V
   +5.0V       5.038V
   +12V      11.923V
   -12V      -11.497
   -5V         -5.026V
   Batt      3.24V
   +5VSB      4.969
some ideas come to my mind and try to think if some options of the bios, the best performance option it's a good point to start i think so i select and save the changes...
oh, oh, the black screen comes again.... buuuuuu! and the four red leds too....buuuu!
mmmm, ....what i do?, what i do?....i reset again the bios, for the options and try to boot the machine again... maybe leave the system in the first point i think but nothing prepare me for the many "chorro" of errors thath follow after this point....
If i can roll back the time....
i think to be superman and fly in a oposite earth direction for roll back the time... (luisa!)
the system begins a non stop errors secuence sometimes the four leds are red, sometimes tree leds red an the top right led green, in the book says this signal is for damage DDR ram...
wen windows 98 loads the system frozes in some points, and wen enter and run some test the system frozes too...
i reset the bios to the original form an try to leave the house excactly wen enter the first time... i save it and the errors continues...
with NO hope of correct by myself the issues i turn on my old K6II system and find the MSI forum that got some mysql errors
in the forum find the Power unit suplly issues, i got the ATX box and 300W maybe it's too low i think after MANY post with same errors like me, i think to made a program plan for recover the stability and my ideas come in the next point.
now need another message to continue....

Return the system to the "normal" or less stability
In the forum (thanks for the people thath participate) some people says issues of frozen systems because cheap ATX power supply, some other got problems with the heatsink, i think that a mixture of those issues gotme like mad and try to figure out the quality of a atx power supply that changes the performance after a bios setup... ( it's a very cheap ATX power supply, i think) the Power unit now don't support the energy, and power needs of the system in some cases wen i run the 3d accelerated test the system frozes wen i hit "test".
return today to the computer mall passarella, and buy this items:
   Vulcano 7 (it's a building no, it's a airplane no,... it's vulcano 7 with speed sensor incorporated, much bigger than a building and more CFM than any airplane make!)
   ATX power supply 400W for kicks power requeriments and maybe extract energy enough for a reading lamp...
   wen come back to the house i install the new parts, the vulcano 7 needs the same mod than the other AMD one, or maybe MSI put the sockect A protect clip layer in the wrong site, maybe the board fit well in a ATX-XL case for no uninstall the power unit to put the heatsink... anyway need to uninstallit but this issue it's funny.
wen everiting it's ok i turn on the system...
KT3 Ultra Runs smooth... FINALLY
i know thath every body needs to listen a couple of help tips, in this point i think that logged to the forum are the best idea that i got, many people got the same problems and if you don't ask or search you think thath the MSI board it's a terrible board, and this no true, and because it's red too.
the system loads normal and i think to go up the FSB to the NORMAL 133 value for this athlon XP 1800+ i change the values, save and reboot the first thing that i find are the bios recognize the Amd Athlon XP 1800+ in the first black screen ( wen disables da logo) later, web hit windows key+ pause the window says Athlon XP 1800+, in the fuzzy logic app i find the values of 1523 Mhz and the temperature don't rises 50°C it's now OK, better than the cooking eggs thing that got before the changes.
now i need to give some thanks..
Thanks
to all the people in the forum, i don't write a nice english but i know read and it's enough for take a easy living style with this machines...
MSI people thanks
for the people in the mall, they don't know much the Power unit issues of this board it's a bit more exigent than others in his point.
to my dog that share my angry in the late night, it's a good one that dont' sleep well wen i work in the night..
so to all the people thanks for made this posible, maybe this long post with less technical things works for put your boards well.

IF YOU CAN MAKE IT MORE LIKE WIN 7 WITCH RUNS FOLDERS INSTANTLY THE FIRST TIME.
CAN YOU MAKE IT BETTER?
TANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Please let me know where in AWR report can I see the parameters affecting the performance of the system The question is meaningless.
The AWR report is all about performance but it depends what you're looking for, what timeframe, etc.
If you're just looking for a starting point to do something because you have early onset of compulsive tuning disorder, see (from the list above):
http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2006/11/29/analysing-statspack-pt1/
The references to statspack all apply to AWR.
If you have time to fill, reading those AWR resources would be a better first step than just leaping into an AWR looking for trouble.
Remember that there will always be a top 5 timed events, top N SQL statements, etc.
