We generally find that customers are happy with OLTP style environments where transactions tend to have low response times. If your transaction increases from 0.01 seconds to 0.03 seconds, who really cares when the SLA is for < 1 second. People generally stumble with the utilities like RMAN, import, index builds ect... There are lots of ways to address these types of issues. I have a lot of information regarding Oracle running on CMT on my blog. Also, there was a joint session with Oracle and myself at OOW 2008 which discussed Oracle running on CMT. http://blogs.sun.com/glennf/tags/cmt CMT boxes are optimized for throughput and response time is less for some applications.

While working for a certain Internet Company, I had the opportunity to lab test a loaner T2000 from Sun in the hopes that we could replace our database servers with these. Database performance results were disappointing to say the least and we ended canning the hardware migration project and going with commodity hardware..(read DELL) I couldnt agree more with this post.
