Smug mode

I've been complaining for weeks to the DBAs here that it "feels like" my Oracle queries are running on 1 CPU. I asked if it was a VM could they beef it up a bit. No dice. It's a real machine with 8 cores and oodles of RAM so should be fast enough.

Today they gave in a little and ran some monitoring software while my queries ran.

Guess how many CPUs were used?

So now I have some suggestions on how to use the other cores, so I have some reading to do.
