Where did you get those figures from?
Are you sure it's the DB and not something else on the server causing the problem?

If you are sure it's the DB - statspack or awr might be a good place to start.

You should better post this question in a Unix forum.
It does not matter it is an Oracle process.
And how do you know it is not another one?

Actually we are using shared server architecture so the shared server processes are present in it and the Disk I/O is 100% most of the time...
