Very high buffer gets

Hi All,

After tracing the QMON process which was doing lots of buffer gets, I
found this culprit. None of the three tables involved in the query have
more than 2 blocks. I know the nested loop is iterating over the blocks
but that should still not account for more than 200 blocks / execution.
Why do I see such high values for buffer gets? 

select t.schema, t.name, t.flags, q.name
from
 system.aq$_queue_tables t, sys.aq$_queue_table_affinities aft,
  system.aq$_queues q where aft.table_objno = t.objno and
aft.owner_instance =
   :1 and        q.table_objno = t.objno and q.usage = 0 and
  bitand(t.flags, 4+16+32+64+128+256) = 0       and NOT       ( t.name
in
  ('DEF$_AQCALL' , 'DEF$_AQERROR') and t.schema = 'SYSTEM')for update of
  t.name, aft.table_objno skip locked
