Yes other proceses are reading the controlfile. When looking in dba_his_active_sess_history I see that an OMS from GridControl is doing slightly more reads than the LGWR. In 3rd place is the CKPT background process.

Writing to the controlfile is done mainly by the CKPT process. Some other processes (5) are writing too but the number of writes is very low (< 2% of the total number).

In my opinion the event histograms is skewed.
