Do you think that accessing 3 million rows out of 70 million rows (1/24th of the table) via index is faster than doing a full table scan? I would doubt that in most cases... What is the clustering factor of that index used? You might be faster with a simple FTS.

What do you mean by "subsequent inserts"? As part of the conversion, of after the conversion when using the new table instead of the old? Please elaborate and specify more details.

So you mean to say the converted table segment has 300G size. What about the LOB segment, what's the size of the associated LOB segment?
300k extents is definitely a lot. If you were going for an AUTOALLOCATE tablespace, you would end up with a lot less number of extents, something about less than 5,000 I think given the allocation rules used by AUTOALLOCATE. Most of your extents were then 64M. Sometimes it's mentioned that it might even use 256M extents, but I've never seen them myself.
