It would help if somebody had labeled the units of I/O Time
... but I'm guessing those are microsec vs. the millisec
of the other times, because otherwise it's completely wrong.
Related to my preceding observation, from the explain (buffers) docs:
“…and the time spent reading and writing data file blocks (in milliseconds) if track_io_timing is enabled.“
