Are you actually experiencing a performance problem?

Are users complaining? 

If not, then don't worry about it, find something else to do.  :)

If so, ( and this has already been stated to you I think ) check
the wait times, don't worry about doing a lot of I/O. 

If you don't know how to check the wait times, there have been
a number of web sites and papers already suggested.  I'm just
chiming in to help impress on you that there are a lot of misconceptions
about tuning.

RAID 5 is fine for some databases.  If you're doing mostly reads, it's
actually pretty good.

Guys,

Querying my v$session_wait shows 10 rows each DB FILE SEQUENTIAL 
READ and DB FILE SCATTERED READ.

manuals explain it all b'coz of I/O.

there are 33 tables and 110 indexes in the same USERS tablespace 
with only one datafile USERS01.DAT of size 12GB.

it's physically laid out in D:\oracle\data.
but the hard disk capacity is 100GB with 8 disk heads and RAID5.

will not moving the tables and indexes to seperate tablespace 
reduce I/O traffic ? my manager here says that since it is 
configured with RAID5 and 8 disk heads , it's not a problem.

is it so ? is he right ?
plz. clarify me. i need to explain him.
it's urgent.he is sitting on my head.

TIA.
