Initrans / Pctfree

[fraze]

I've run a level 10 statspack over a period of time and have noticed some high enqueue waits and a number of ITL waits on some indexes that are accessed by a reportedly "slow" running batch job.
I've got a couple of questions:

1) There are only a small number of ITL waits on the objects, but can this mean a long wait time for each wait, while one waits for the other?
2) The INITRANS/MAXTRANS are set to 2/255 on the object, so if I want to increase the number of sessions that can concurrently change the block in increasing PCTFREE the only way to go?

                                           Subobject  Obj.           ITL
Owner      Tablespace Object Name          Name       Type         Waits  %Total
---------- ---------- -------------------- ---------- ----- ------------ -------
SETT_BATCH SETT_MEDIU DATAFLOW_LOAD_LOG_N1            INDEX            3   17.65
SETTLEMENT SETT_LARGE GAS_AQ_REVIEW_I1                INDEX            3   17.65
SETT_BATCH SETT_MEDIU DATAFLOW_LOAD_LOG_PK            INDEX            2   11.76
SETTLEMENT SETT_LARGE GAS_AQ_REVIEW_I2                INDEX            2   11.76

That doesn't seem like many waits ... you have no timings for it?
