Does this mean that the reads are taking longer or that your Top 5 in
AWR is now reporting this event, more than previously.
There could be two causes here: first that reads are taking longer,
the second, that execution plans have changed and now more reads are
being issued, but they are not necessarily slow(er).  You need to
determine the root cause.

How do the metrics differ?  How long are the reads taking?

What OS?
