We ran into an issue with partitioned tablespaces and different types of indexing. I don't remember exactly (too many dead brain cells), however, it was within 8.1.7.x.x and repaired in 9i (go figure).  

Thank You

I ran across an export that was taking 9 1/2 to 10 hours to complete (the resulting dmp
file was about 7GB compressed). I added DIRECT=Y and it now takes 3 1/2 hours. My
question is: What are the reasons that someone would choose not to use DIRECT=Y?
This is an 8.1.5.0.0 database running on a Solaris box; I would hate to have just removed a
work around for some 8.1.5.0.0 bug! I have found comments in some scripts here, but
they all seem to be in my handwriting!! Kurt kurt.wiegand_at_cwusa.com  

A ran a diff on the log files after the change. Here is the beginning (just what I expected).....
