This is an understatement. That was OK while LOB columns were an exception but now LOB columns are found in each and every database. CTXSYS indexes are free, text searches are more and more common, but the space issues are just horrific. I hoped that "completely re-written LOB storage engine", to put it into Oracle's own words, might help, but no such luck.
