SQL> select class,count from v$waitstat; show data block contention

I am experiencing some I/O degredation as the below data block numbers keep going up.

Thinking about recreating the tables and increasing the freelists and inittrans. Is this my best course of action?

SQL> select class,count from v$waitstat;

CLASS                   COUNT
