Ian,
I had a similar experience with Solaris, Oracle and Async Io aboiut 3
years ago.
We were testing a Hitachi storage system, and making and some
incompatibility
with the Hitachi drives and Solaris was causing the async timeout to take
an extremely
long time.
Though I didn't get errors, writing to disk was painfully slow. Turning
off async in
init.ora did the trick.

Subject:ORA-1115
I'm getting ORA-1115 errors that do not appear in the alert log nor do
they specify the file name nor the block id, when performing certain
operations against large, 100 million row plus tables. This is a 9.0.1.3
database.
I have seen some responses on other OS's which recommend turning off
aysnchronous IO. As the file systems are cooked, which means Solaris will
first try kernel AIO whch will fail, afterwhich the IO will be completed
by a user thread. I have felt that when the Oracle documentaion refers to
poor implementation of AIO, they are speaking of Solaris, but I haven't
had a system sensitive to it before.
Inceasing the number of file descriptors is also mentioned. I may do this
based on the future needs of the database, but the busiest process
iscurrently only holding open files which number about 40% of the soft
limit for that parameter.
The system adminsitrators report no problems with the T3's which hold the
file system. I am able to export the database without incident, and also
validate the indexes via analyze command. What fails are such things as
create index, dbms_stats.analyze_schema.
