I would bet you see a performance decrease as oracle computes which hash partition you need to insert/update/delete into. I've experimented a few times with hash partitions (subs included) and always went back to range or list with no subs. I think hash are really suited to selects in order to spread i/o.
I'm assuming you've exhausted the other partitioning methods. DML on partitions that don't follow the partitioning strategy are alway a pain in the ass.

Subject: anyone ever use sub-partitioning?

> We have a table which is about 8GB with about 8 billion records. We add
deltas to the file daily(inserts,updates,deletes).
>
> We are considering paritioning this table so we can use parallel DML. We
are considering partitioning on the primary key to about 10-20 partitions.
>
> Has anyone used hash sub-partitioning? What are your experiences with
that? I'd like to have granularity smaller than 400-800 MB per partition.
