I've been trying to track down the source of high
'direct path read' and 'direct path write' waits.  It
appears the waits are related to locally managed
temporary tablespaces.  However, I'm puzzled  by what
is reported in v$tempstat.  

SQL> select  FILE#, READTIM, WRITETIM, AVGIOTIM, 
             LSTIOTIM, MINIOTIM, MAXIORTM, MAXIOWTM 
     from v$tempstat;

FILE# READTIM WRITETIM AVGIOTIM LSTIOTIM   MINIOTIM  
MAXIORTM   MAXIOWTM
----- ------- -------- -------- -------- ----------
---------- ----------
    1       3        0        0        1          0   
   6393         78
    2       2      252      443      636          0   
   1387        188

How could the values for MAXIORTM (maximum time spent
doing a single read) be substatially greater than
those reported for READTIM (time spent doing all
reads)?  

This situtation persists even after all of the users
have logged out of the database, so it doesn't appear
to be a case of the read having not yet completed.  

FYI: We're running Oracle 8.1.6.3 on Sun Solaris.
