questions:
 
1.  Is that a 1TB table, or a table with 1TB space allocated to it?
Scanning >
400MB/s and creating an index would require a bare minimum of 32 very
hot 
CPUs. You must have a pretty nice system there.
 
2.  Is PCTFREE/USED set up such that this 1TB table has 1 row per block
:-0
 
3. Is the 15GB table index create statement a 42-way composite ?

        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.
