Roland used an anonymous PL/SQL procedure:

SQL> begin
2 insert into rbr_foo select sysdate from dual;
[...wait about 10 seconds...]
3 insert into rbr_foo select sysdate from dual;
4 end;
5 /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select * from rbr_foo;

Oracle isn't processing those statements interactively. SQL*Plus
is waiting on the "/" to send the PL/SQL block to the database.
I suspect its not going to take Oracle more than a second to
insert a row...
