* When returned as part of this logical data group, this element reflects the change in value of this metric since the last statistics collection or database activation, whichever was more recent.

Usage

You can use this element with pool_data_p_reads and pool_index_p_reads monitor elements to calculate the average page-read time. This average is important since it may indicate the presence of an I/O wait, which in turn may indicate that you should be moving data to a different device.

At the database and table space levels, this element includes the value of the pool_async_read_time monitor element.
