Have you set noatime for the oracle filesystems?
It is I believe a standard practice on linux/unix, though I'm not
sure of any solid measurements of performance difference.
see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/webcolumns/2002/techarticles/scalzo_linux01.html
for example.
(google for it, the supplied URL was the first I found that mentioned it for
Oracle)

We set up a side by side comparison to test our Oracle DB application on
Windows 2003 32 Bit vs. Red Hat Linux. We set up two virtual partitions
and alternately stopped one and tested the other. We have been reading
different benchmark tests and came to believe that we would see a 30% to 40%
performance advantage using linux. We used Load Runner and tested three
program functions with 30-60-90 users. Windows performed about 10%
better. Does anybody have any advice or observations on this? Any
configuration advice?
