Just as an indicator - I have a note about a test I did some time ago where I set up two tables of 19,000 extents each with 'alternating' extents, so it was:

    create tableA
    create tableB
    for i in 1..19000 loop

        alter tableA add extent    -- good stuff this 'execute immediate'
        alter tableB add extent

    end loop;

Using two concurrent sessions to drop both table simultaneously took me 26 seconds, of which 13 seconds were recorded in v$waitstat/v$session_event as waits for the tablespace bitmap blocks.
