EXPERT RESPONSE
With Oracle9i, you can install the package dbms_support (see dbmssupp.sql and prvtsupp.plb in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin). When you use dbms_support to trace a session, the resulting trace file (once formatted with the tkprof utility) will show you where your session is spending its time, and that information -- for example, many full table scans against a large table -- can indicate what changes you need; for this example, it might be adding an index to that table. Seek out information on interpreting tkprof output for more help. Better yet, run some traces and study their output to get a feel for the information tracing can give you.
