10gR2 introduced Self-Tuning Multiblock Read Count http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14214/chapter1.htm#FEATURENO05506

The basic premise is to allow large I/Os for MBRC operations w/o giving the Optimizer too much preference to FTS. By default it uses a MBRC of 8 for costing, or the system stats MBRC if it is set.
