And IMHO it still comes back to the ancient mantras:

1)    Get the design right
2)    Tune the SQL
3)    Worry about the hardware, the init.ora parameters, the spindles, and

all the other stuff if it's still a problem.

Sorry, an over-generalisation I know, but it's not been a good day. I'm suffering from others' failure to adhere to 1) and 2) - outside our control.
