Cursor Issue

I have a 3rd part app that collects message strings from various external sites, turns each string into an Oracle insert statement, then sends those inserts to my database. It's been working well for a couple of years, but as the number of messages is growing, I'm find that I have a cursor problem. I don't have the ability to change much about the 3rd party app, so I'm focused right now on providing what I can on the db side. Is there a way to have a unique cursor setting for a user or session?  

What I'm thinking is that, this process usually runs in the late evening when there aren't many users on the system, but the 1800 cursor limitation we have in the init.ora just doesn't seem to be enough. Can I up it just for this process? Or am I really forced to work with the app tech support (and I use that term loosely) to figure out why it's using so many cursors? It's not even like the numbers are all that huge. I can't see why it would take so many cursors to process less than 1,000 records.  

Any thoughts?
