The table that is experiencing the slow insert, have there been many deletes on this table? You may be getting some free list contention. Also, how many indexes on this table are there vs. the one that inserts fast? If you have many indexes on many different columns, then this will slow the insert down as Oracle will have to insert the data into all the indexes.
