Your instance has spent much of its In Oracle time waiting for database buffers.
High Buffer Wait findings

Description
What to do next
Perform one of the following options:
n   Examine the Oracle events that are grouped in the Buffer Wait. Determine the dominant Oracle event and follow the tuning scenario set by this event in the Statistics workspace.
n   If the dominant Oracle event is buffer busy, launch into the Activity workspace and locate the objects with the highest buffer wait.
Advice
There are two typical scenarios relevant to buffer wait that are determined by the dominant Oracle event:
n   Buffer Busy wait event
There is high contention on specific table blocks. To reduce contention, increase the Freelists or the Pctfree for the table.
n   Free Buffer Wait event
There are no available buffers in the buffer cache. This is usually an I/O wait related problem.
Do the following:
Try and tune the heaviest statements or objects.
If this event persists after statement tuning, try and increase DBWR throughput by adding more DBWR processes or DBWR_I/O_SLAVES.
Increase the buffer cache size.
