* Increase the number of IMU latches. Keep in mind that just because the number of IMU latches increases, this does not mean Oracle will actually use them. Run a query like the one shown in Figure 7-18 to better understand the true usage situation. Here are a couple ways to increase the number of IMU latches:

* Increase the instance parameter, processes. Be careful, as this parameter affects many other instance parameters.

* Increase the number of IMU pools by increasing the _im_pools parameter or increase the shared pool size by increasing the shared_pool_size parameter. These changes only encourage Oracle to create additional latches, so you may want to do some testing by running a script similar to that shown in Figure 7-18.
