I know I'm late to the party so this might have been covered. Is this a single session update statement or multiple sessions?

I was wondering about ITL waits if multiple sessions - but if it's a single session then I figure ITL waits shouldn't be an issue unless the free space in each block is really, really, low.

While you're testing, grab some AWR reports (change your collection interval for 5-10 minutes from default 60 minutes) and check your wait events. (Yes, I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here - but just in case...)
