We have a database in Oracle, and in order to speed it up we are considering moving it into a raw disk partition (Unix).

Here are my questions:

Does anybody have any experience with Oracle using a raw disk partitition instead of the Unix file system? Could you share your experiences?
What are the benefits? Is the improvement in performance worth the work?
How easy would it be to backup this database? We are currently using a shell script to do this.

Thanks,
