Just because there is a wait does not mean there is a problem. How many IO were there to the objects during the same time period? 8032 waits out of 8032 requests is probably a problem but 8032 waits over 8 million requests doesn't seem like much of a problem. I do not see how anyone can give you sound recommendations when you only provide one statistic.

The following query has been used, select object_name,statistic_name,value from v$segment_statistics where statistic_name like '%buffer busy%' and value > 100 order by value desc and the output is OBJECT_NAME STATISTIC_NAME VALUE ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------- C_INTIMATION buffer busy waits 8032 CIS_AUDIT_TRAILH buffer busy waits 3739 TRANSACTION_LOG buffer busy waits 2185 FM_AUDIT_FORM buffer busy waits 2032 C_CUSTOMER buffer busy waits 1768 FM_OLTP_LOG buffer busy waits 1476 RB_RESTRAINTS buffer busy waits 730 RB_TRAN_HIST buffer busy waits 653 FM_ERROR_LOG buffer busy waits 532 I have added freelist as 5 to some of the tables, like c_intimation,c_transaction_log,c_customer,fm_audit_form these tables are oltp tables and every transactions entry goes to these tables. We have around 45 - 55 transaction per second. Planning to move those tables to a tablespace with ASSM feature. Any further idea?
