-------------------------------
The percentage of buffer headers in the hot region. If you want more headers to be considered hot, increase this value. Decreasing this parameter will give buffer headers more time to be touched before encountering a server or database writer process.
The time window in which a buffer header's touch count (x$bh.tch) can be increased by only one. Increasing this parameter decreases the affect of a sudden buffer-centered activity burst, while risking devaluing truly popular buffers.
The touch count threshold a buffer header must meet or exceed to be promoted. If you want to make it more difficult for a buffer to be promoted, increase this value. Then only really hot buffers will remain in the cache.
