One small addition - there used to be a bug when explicitly setting db_file_multiblock_read_count = 0 didn't enable the "self-tuning MBR", but ended up setting the MBRC value to 1 instead (that's no good). So, one had to completely unset the parameter in spfile/init.or, for the auto-selected MBRC to kick in.
