hi!

you can use named pips:

mknod fifo p

dd if=fifo bs=1024k | gzip > export.dmp.gz &

exp user/pass full=yes file=fifo

first create a named pipe (fifo). then start the gzip reading from the named pipe in the back-group. at last start the export to the named pipe. the process will speed up the export.
