Space allocation is still transactional, so that could be a contributor.

Try "truncate ... reuse storage" this will not de-allocate the
extents, but still lower the high water mark.

This is probably a stupid question but I have a 9207 database.  In order to
do a refresh, I truncate all the tables, disable sequences, foreign keys,

run an import it dramatically increases the size of the UNDO tablespace?
What is it increasing UNDO?   Is there any way around it?
