The Parse statistics are what caught my eye. The statement is being
parsed once per execution, which is puzzling because it does use bind
variables. Of more concern, though, is the difference between CPU and
elapsed times for the parsing, indicating that there is a lot of
waiting going on. I'd suggest looking at v$session_event to see what
are the top wait events for the session.
break on sid
col event format a30
set pages 99
select se.event, se.total_waits,
se.time_waited, se.average_wait
from v$session s, v$session_event se
where s.sid = se.sid
and s.username is not null
and s.sid = &sid
order by se.time_waited
/
Run this before and after executing the insert statement, and compute
the delta for each wait event seen.
