Re: Export - Compress

I think what he is talking about is the COMPRESS option of the Oracle EXP = module, not export file compression.

That would be very system-dependant. Compression is highly cpu-intensive. If you have the system to yourself, that won't be a bottleneck, but on a busy system, it could slow things down.
With compression off, you require more disk i/o. But if your disk controller has lots of buffering, this may not be a bottleneck. Basically, the answer is non-deterministic, and the only way to find out = is
to test in your environment.
