It's a bit vague that i can't 100% understand what the author is trying to
say.
Seems that he is referring buffer busy waits wait event but the timeout of
buffer busy wait is 1s(100cs) not 10cs.
Asking it to the author seems to be good solution.

Jonathan Lewis has stated a quite probable answers to this situtation.
My additional guesswork is that Oracle generates more CR blocks than the
number limited by _db_block_max_cr_dba
when light work rule is applied on RAC system.
But I don't have access to RAC at the moment that can't verify it.
