RE: SQL*LOAD question

I wrote an article last year about tuning SQL*Loader. It is at http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclesqlload_0401.html I experienced a huge improvement in performance and others have told me that they were able to achieve similar improvements.

Also see the ORAFAQ mentioned at the bottom of each post on this list. That holds some very good info on sqlloader

I try to insert 14,000 rows into oracle database using SQLLDR and it takes too long to finish (around an hour). Is there a way to improve SQLLDR to make it run faster? For example, if modify parameter file will help?

I have 150 000 lines to insert with sqlload and it takes 8 minutes, my feeling is this is too long.
I tried in DIRECT mode, but I got some error, Direct mone does not work with pl/sql instriction like procedure or
Sysdate value. I retrived any pl/sql instruction and any value like sysdate. I amiliorate the perf with 20 sec off.

How can boost sqlloader?
