You shouldn't have your CPU cycles running away by having Oracle run on a PDC. Processes contact the PDC, PDCs and BDCs are constantly synchronizing, etc. So you will simply won't have that server for 100 procent at your disposal. Also if you need to bring down the server for Oracle associated reasons, you will bring down the PDC. I think it is very strange not running Oracle from a PDC has to be justified. If you know NT and think a few secs about it, you know you shouldn't do this. But then again, you better shouldn't run NT.
