And what are the differences between conventional and direct load paths?

Oracle documentation

A conventional path load executes SQL INSERT statements to populate tables in an Oracle database.

A direct path load eliminates much of the Oracle database overhead by formatting Oracle data blocks and writing the data blocks directly to the database files. A direct load does not compete with other users for database resources, so it can usually load data at near disk speed.
