Description
What to do next

If Buffer Busy wait is the more dominant Oracle event, consider doing the following:
n   Increase the free lists for the table to reduce the chances of contention.
n   Increase the PCTFREE parameter or decrease the block size for the table, to distribute data among many blocks and reduce the chances for contention.
If Free Buffer wait is the more dominant Oracle event, consider doing the following:
n   Tune access to the object, in order to reduce the number of blocks fetched.
n   If the problem is a global instance problem, increase the number of DBWR processes or I/O slaves.
