I attended a seminar by Oracle on performance tuning, where they said that there are few circumstances where you would want to use raw devices. Apparently nowadays the speed increase over the file system is 10%-15% (the figure they gave me). Weighed against the difficulty of managing Oracle on raw devices, it sounded like you would have to have your back against the wall before going to raw devices.
