Well, sequential read waits probably means you are using an index to figure out which blocks to update. Of course the buffer hit ratio would be poor, you are jumping all over the place to grab random blocks. How big is the table (size and rows)? How long does it take to do a full scan of the table? Sometimes it is faster to use full scans because multiblock reads can help, but we have no clue here of your total sizes. Hit ratio tuning is silly, anyways, but here it may be a clue you may be doing it wrong. But you may have no choice. Don't be afraid of large undo, in any case.

> q2) is "delayed block cleanout" playing some role here ?

Before and in between phases, select some field that is not indexed to force a full table scan and cleanup of the blocks. If that makes the times quicker and more stable, it was likely delayed block cleanout. If I'm not totally confused.
