well I would be curios to see the results on fc2
here is the url:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/index.html

hmmm they have a new version as of the 26th, something new to try =)
i'd been using 9.2.0.2 but methinks i'm going to give 9.2.0.4 a try today
If you do feel froggy and jump in I would really appreciate any input
