:     There was a HUGE SQL(which used 30% of total system buffer_gets
: according to statspack report). I changed the SQL, and later it used less
: than 0.5% of total system buffer_gets(it just dissappear from statspack
: report), but system CPU usage just drop by less than 5% from statspack
: report(compare the CPU used by this session before/after change)!.
: 

Bear in mind that not all visits to buffered blocks are 
performed as 'buffer gets' - some are performed as
'buffer is pinned count'.  Also, if you visit a block to
collect one row through an index, you may do a few
comparisons to acquire and confirm that row. If you
visit the block through a table scan, you have to 
check every row in the block to identify the one row -
and the comparisons may use a lot of CPU.
