Arvind,

        Try cutting DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS in half.  Yeah it's a strange concept, but if the 
swapper is running them giving back some memory to the system may stop it & the 
improvement in response time will more than make up for the additional wait in getting 
data into the cache.

    its a single instance system..here is some more details ...pls suggest
if something needs to be corrected

   SHARED_POOL_SIZE=190MB
   DB_BLOCK_SIZE   = 4KB
   DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS = 125000 (488MB)
   LOG_BUFFER = 5MB
   SORT_AREA_SIZE = 2MB
   SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE = 1MB
   DB_WRITER_PROCESSES =4
   LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESS = 3

   AND THE MOST WAITED EVENT IN V$SYSTEM_EVENT IS 'DB_FILE_SCATTERED_READ'
,TO REDUCE ITS WAIT 
TIME I HAVE INCREASED THE DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT FROM 16 TO 64 ,BUT
STILL SWAPPING SIZE IS SAME FROM 'TOP' COMMAND IN UNIX

Arvind

Hi!

You didn't send your SHARED_POOL_SIZE parameter
value...
but... 

usually, when the machine swaps is due to not enough
memory allocated!

I would check your shared_pool_size, sort_area_size,
and db_block_buffer for verifying that there's enough
memory asigned.

Of course, you should diagnose memory problems on your
OS and Oracle.
