Edwin, there are several things:

1) Do you have plans before the patch?  What exactly does the patch do? What 
problem
   was the patch supposed to solve? What modules does it patch?
2) What kind of the statistics do you have? Did you gather system statistics, 
aka "CPU costing"?
   Do you have all relevant histograms?
3) Did you trace the sessions in question? 10046 and 10053? Are there any other 
changes in 
   effect?
4) Did the patch installation re-compute your statistics? Are there any new 
hints added to the 
   application processes?
5) What are the application waiting for? Sequential or scattered reads? 
Enqueues? 
6) Are performance problems centered around one group of applications? One 
table, package or
   trigger? Is there anything that the modules that users are complaining about 
have in common?
   Is every module using the same procedure, table or something like that?
7) Did you open a level 1 SR with Oracle Corp? Your situation sounds like 
"business
   critical system down" situation and Oracle is usually very good when that 
happens.

It is extremely hard to give you a precise diagnosis based only on the several 
execution 
plans. The only person who can fix the things is you. This is why the job of 
database administrator
is so stressful. Now everything depends on you, your knowledge and experience. 
If things fail, you
will be blamed for everything and probably fired. I hope that I have lessened 
the level of stress that 
you feel right now.
