It's 512K here, but haven't increased it. Did see someone complain about SP stress when running sqlldr in 8.1.5 Is there a parm that can cause problem? Saw someting about perfstat reporting miscellanrous growth over time, but don't have perfstat installed here (yet). I'll see if I can get script from vendor. Any ideas?
