Generally, the free buffer wait event indicates that dirty blocks are not being cleared fast enough by the dbwr and some server process is reporting that it. Reading a block from the buffer cache is less costly in terms of time than reading it from the disk. This event occurs mainly when a server process is trying to read a new buffer into the buffer cache but too many buffers are either pinned or dirty and thus unavailable for reuse. The session posts to dbwr then waits for dbwr to create free buffers by writing out dirty buffers to disk. When a block is read by oracle, it places this block into the buffer cache, because there is a chance that this block is needed again.
