In the context of memory requirements and disk bandwidth the index size
is rather a critical issue though, so there is a correlation between
segment size and performance.

Fortunately this issue is very amenable to performance testing of the
two alternatives. You might also consider bitmap indexes, even for
columns with a relatively high number of distinct values. Throw those
into the mix and you have the basis for a very nice little comparison.
