Over what time period was the snapshot taken?

Q1: someone else can answer that, I certainly can't. Do you really care about 7 seconds? Although this wait is a significant fraction of the total wait time, is the load meaningful? 

Q2: yes if possible. But IMHO, the worse the application, the more it helps to partition in this way (conversely, the better the application, the less there is need for or benefit from partitioning). You choose whether to tune the application code (eg by reducing redundant data reads etc) or workaround by partitioning. The first could  give you orders of magnitude better results - but will cost more... and for other vendors' COTS applications you may have no choice but workarounds.

Folks
 
During internal 2 Node RAC Benchmark OLTP Nature Transaction Runs, following are the TOP Events from Statspack.
 
Qs 1) How can the “control file sequential read” wait be reduced after identifying the respective “busy” Objects? 
Qs 2) Should Transactions be grouped Logically so that Transactions Hit different Data Blocks on the 2 Nodes?
