There are some blurbs about the pros and cons of the OCI driver versus the Thin driver.
On Suns, they pretty much suggest you go with the Thin driver, and I've that in other places (though they may have all been sourced from Sun). The primary motivation is that there's some overhead in the transition for the JVM to the native OCI calls. There is also a relationship with multiple CPUs. Now, whether these changes are actually NOTICABLE, is a different issue entirely. They may be measureable, but not necessarily noticable. Typically when people complain about performance, they're looking for 75%+ rates of improvement, and 2-5% bits fall completely off their radar. However, if you're just starting out, have a driver in each hand and are wondering if one is "better" than the other, then, technically, the Thin driver is supposed to be better.
