Been there done that, but I don't have an answer for you. It's not just the transactions per minute that has a bearing here, but the overall data volume. It's a lot easier to do 3000 transactions that change 1 byte than 3000 that change 200 bytes.

The only answer with these sort of decisions is volume test, volume test, volume test. Remember SRDF is supported in synchronous mode, and that the version of Oracle you run has a big bearing too (8.1 has greater throughput than 8.0, which likewise has greater throughput than 7.3).
