Ah. I parsed the English differently. I see now that the 35% migration was in reference to the old segment. That makes sense.

| I'm confused. After a CTAS, you might still might have chaining, but I don't
| understand why there would be migration.

Whoops... more precisely stated (I hope)...

"In fact, after CTAS our new recreated segment (the target of the CTAS) is
1/2 the size (in blocks) of the old segment which had 35% of its rows that had been migrated (the source for the CTAS)."

...by which I was trying to compare the sizes of these two segments: the
"before CTAS" segment (when "slow" under bitmap index rebuild and doing
way--WAY!--more than the necessary amount of IO--even considering migrated rows... 285 times the size of the segment) and the "after CTAS" segment (when we had used CTAS to create a new replacement segment for the partition which definitely made all migrated rows disappear and upon which building a a bitmap index was nice and fast and incurred the "expected" amount of IO--namely, reading a total amount of blocks which appears to be the size of the segment).
