We were asked to do the same thing on ALL production databases. That's what Oracle auditing is for. If they want it turned on, they should be willing to bounce the database. We audit for a couple of dozen things. We have seen no performance hits after turning auditing on. We do NOT audit data changes.

Make sure that the logon trigger doesn't get invalid though ... in which case every connection will try to compile it, and since most won't have privs to recompile it, it will hang for a timeout and from then on it is downhill only. But if you take care of that, things just run fine.
