performance impact of archivelog

Has anyone on the list seen a discussion of

1. performance cost of running in archivelog mode.
2. overhead of using partitions
3. time calculation to perform statistics
4. time savings of using statistics

I always see these things discussed in terms of "more" but never in terms of "how much".

Thanks for any information that you can point me to.
