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.

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.
