vxstat data Questions

The Volumes below pretty much explain their purpose.

What I am running into is my DBA's say that they are not getting the read/write times that I see via vxstat.

What are "AVG TIME(ms) READ  WRITE" ???

These mean the time it takes to a read or write to start, or is it the time a read or write takes to complete?

>From below it looks likes Oracle is getting really good read/write
times.

Is it fair to say that, "Hey DBA'S this is what you are getting read/write Veritas says so" ???
