Rahul, It does no good to speculate; let's work with facts...
What wait-events are occurring in the sessions running the INSERTs? If you can locate the sessions in the V$SESSION view, then use the value in the column SID to locate associated rows in the V$SESSION_EVENT view, sorting by the cumulative time spent on each wait-event: select event, time_waited, average_time, max_time from v$session_event where sid = &&SID union select n.name, s.value, 0, 0 from v$sesstat s, v$statname n where s.sid = &&SID and n.name in ('CPU used by this session','parse time cpu','recursive cpu usage') and s.statistic# = n.statistic# order by 2 desc As you can see, in addition to wait-event information, this query will also mix in CPU statistics from the V$SESSTAT view, to give a better picture of where time is being spent by these sessions... Can you post the results of these queries back to the list?
