Большое количество latch free: dml allocation latch при конкурентных запросах к v$lock

Проблема эта в общем-то старая, но только сейчас благодаря книге "Oracle Core" Джонатана Льюиса удалось узнать в чем собственно проблема и справиться с ней.
Цитата из главы "Latches for lock":

If the enqueue resource is in place already, then pick a row from the relevant enqueue structure (x$ksqeq, et al.), but to do this you have to get the associated enqueue latch to stop other people from picking the same enqueue row at the same time. The latch you need to acquire depends on the specific type of enqueue you are using; for example, if you want a row from x$ksqeq you need to get the enqueue latch but for a row from x$ktadm you need to get the dml allocation latch. Drop this latch as soon as you have made the enqueue row safe.
