"Are you running RAID and if so what configuration. (Not RAID 5 I hope)"
Interesting. I am posting an excerpt from Doc 97597.1 Optimising Raid performance for Oracle RDBMS on NT
RAID 5 is useful for Oracle datafiles but not for redo log files or rollback segments which are sequentially accessed. Datafiles belonging to the temporary tablespace are not suitable for a RAID 5 device. More benefits will be seen in situations where reads predominate over writes.
I know that in this instance it is a data load that is being discussed but presumably once the data is loaded then it will be read more than once.
Certainly the tone of the note suggests that raid 5 is not a definite no-no rather a 'be cautious as to which files are placed where'. It is my belief that often a single raid level is set for all files rather than a mix of raid 1 and raid 5 as appropriate.
Peter, I fully agree that the level of memory utilised here is totally insufficient and is very likely to be the constraining factor in this case.
