Yes, I know that.  Can't do that (yet).  If I could have, I would have
before bothering the list.  This is Production.  I'm too new at this
site to know what I can do and what I can't do. =20

While the insert was running, I could see the wait event, db file
sequential read, and which files/blocks were being waited on.  I can
understand the reason for that wait event.  I'm trying to understand the
high number of I/Os.

Did you run in with event 10046 enabled, on level 8, in order to see
what are you waiting for and which recursive SQL statements are waiting=20
for the I/O events? That would  be the 0th thing, even before the first
one.
