Hi Syed,

What is your basis for tuning?

These numbers really don't tell you anything useful for tuning.

52 seconds of waits for direct path read sounds pretty good for a busy
database that has been up for a few days.  :)

Might not be too good for a single OLTP transaction though.

Is there a performance problem?

Which SQL will you start with?  

It is unlikely that you can tweak any database parameters to improve
the read times from disk. ( there are no silver bullets ;)

If you have not read "Optimizing Oracle Performance" , I would suggest
you get a copy; it will teach you how to identify performance problems,
as well as how to predict how much time will be saved by  tuning said
'problem' SQL.

HTH
