Rich,
After reading your followup reply, I wonder if the following is happening:

1. A number of inserts are performed. Recall that they aren't immediately
written to disk, but held in memory. So response is very fast.
2. A threshold is reached. Oracle is forced to flush the buffers - write the
blocks to disk. You experience this as a delay.

Dennis
