Help on analyzing extended SQL trace for "SQL*Net message" waits

Hi,

My database is 9205 on HP-UX 11.11. I was looking at a query that was
taking a long time to run today.

My guess from the trace is that, the Oracle server process is reading 1
block and shipping it over SQL*Net to the client (which is very
inefficient for data transfer). This is custom code for a batch job. The
batch job seems to be stuck processing this table 1 block at a time...

Here's the execution plan (I have an optimizer trace also, if you'd like
to see it):

Execution Plan



 SELECT STATEMENT ( Estimated Costs =3D 1,231 , Estimated #Rows =3D 2 )

        INLIST ITERATOR

            TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID BSAD

                INDEX RANGE SCAN BSAD~1

Is this a analysis correct? How would you proceed? Start tuning the
code? Is there a SLOW network issue here?

Thanks much!!!

Here's some of the trace output:
