If I am not mistaken dropping the table should be much worse than using
truncate because the use of drop would greatly increase the amount of undo
that Oracle has to keep track of.

Why can't you just drop and recreate the table?  Since I know you are an
exceptional DBA this is probably a stupid question but...
