Contention on a table buffer in Insert statements (Buffer Busy Wait), or
Lack of free buffers when trying to load blocks from a disk (Free Buffer Wait)
Buffer Wait Contention findings

Description
What to do next
Perform one of the following options:
n   Select the findings type to identify the tables suffering from Buffer Wait in the Objects tab, or
n   Examine Buffer Wait sub-state events in the Statistics workspace.
Advice
When Buffer Busy Wait is the more dominant Oracle event, consider the following options:
n   Increase the free lists for the table to reduce the chances for contention.
n   Increase the PCTFREE parameter or decrease the block size for the table in order to spread the data among many blocks and reduce the chances for contention.
When Free Buffer Wait is the more dominant Oracle event, consider the following options:
n   Tune the object's access, so as to reduce the number of blocks fetched.
n   If this is a global instance problem, increase the number of DBWR processes or I/O slaves.
