Also please be advised the default behavior in ASSM:
  • INSERT slow on ASSM (Doc ID 1263496.1)

I once had a issue in a large batch INSERT where most of wait events was in "db file sequential read". When tracing the ASSM with the following events:

ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10320 trace name context forever , level 3'; ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10612 trace name context forever , level 1';

It helped me to conclude this behavior, and my solution was just partition the index.

Regards.
