Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on Win2k (4 CPU, 4GB RAM)

A 3rd Party app. is experiencing very slow performance on one of our
databases.  I think I've nailed it down to slow, row-at-a-time inserts.
The same app. performs very fast on another DB with LMTs.  After switching
the tables and indexes in the slow DB to LMT, we still have slow
performance.

The extract from the SQL_Trace below is the slow statement.  It actually
takes about an hour to insert a few hundred rows.  You can watch the trace
file slowly grow with executions of this statement.

There is only one User hitting this table (with its single index).  The
table is initially empty, so it's not extending.

Anybody have any ideas as to the cause of this slow Insert activity?

BTW, I ran BStat and EStat during this time and nothing jumps out at me.
Also, we ran it with CHOOSE (and fresh statistics) - same slowness.
