Brian:
Get yourself a decent size on your redo logs, 5 to 10 meg. Another thing to do is, if you are running with 7.2 or higher, add the clause UNRECOVERABLE as the last part of your CREATE INDEX command. This will cause Oracle to skip writing the index create stuff to the redo logs. On a database running in archivelog mode it makes a BIG difference. You also want to consider adding the PARALLEL clause if you're on an SMP machine. Keep in mind though, this will shoot holes in your tablespace if you specify a PARALLEL number that is too high. Hopes this helps...
