40+ minutes to create an index on a 1 TB table - that is fast for us.
It took me the same time to create an index on a 15 GB table. 
How come?  "alter session set sort_area_size"? Parallel?

Hi... we are having issues trying to create indexes from a remote location.  we 
have access to the console and are running the create index on the server, but 
it takes 40+ minutes to create.  BTW... this table is 1Tb.  however, when 
performing the same operation at another location, same configuration as 
before, the index only takes 10min.  what am i missing?  both of these servers 
are SAN attached.  the indexes are being created on the SAN.
