Kirti,
Nice assessment. Even I have a tried recordlength = 128K on HP-UX 10.20 and
results very fantastic. However HP 11 does not allow me to exceed 65K

Here are some numbers from my testing of various options for exp and imp...
Table had 4.9 Mil rows. Oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3. Time is average from 3
attempts.
Exporting the table:
Conventional (without any options) 412.81sec
recordlength=16384 399.65sec recordlength is set to the value of
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
buffer=1048576 251.79sec
buffer=1048576 recordlength=16384 248.75sec recordlength is set to
the value of DB_BLOCK_SIZE
buffer=1048576 recordlength=65535 235.38sec recordlength is set to
the
maximum value for the platform
direct=y 66.20sec
direct=y recordlength=16384 51.85sec recordlength is set to the
value of DB_BLOCK_SIZE
direct=y recordlength=65535 45.60sec recordlength is set to the
maximum value for the platform
Importing the same table (Table had no PKEY constraints).
commit=y indexes=n ignore=y 594.88sec
commit=y indexes=n ignore=y buffer=1048576 312.96sec Approximately
16,131
rows in the insert array
commit=y indexes=n ignore=y buffer=5242880 289.55sec Approximately
80,860
rows in the insert array
commit=y indexes=n ignore=y buffer=10485760 288.12sec Approximately
161,320 rows in the insert array
Hope this helps...
