we had a customer of the sort_area_size=10000000 in their database, the temp table space is 256MB, the db_block_size is 8k. They have some performance problem, I think it's probably related to the setting of sort_area_size(we have only one user). So what's the benefits/disadvantage of too big sort_area_size?

Thanks,

Chris
