There’s a thread on OTN that talks about a particular deletion job taking increasing amounts of time each time it is run.
It looks like an example where some thought needs to go into index maintenance and I’ve contributed a few comments to the thread – so this is a lazy link so that I don’t have to repeat myself on the blog.

Not related to the subject of your post – but it was a real fun to notice that your status on OTN is merely “expert” and not “ace” :)

al0,
Technically I should have one of those “ACE Director” logo thingies – but no-one every got around to adding it.
It doesn’t bother me, I’m really not interested in titles; the only important bit is that Oracle Corp. helps to pay for some of the trips I do to support user group events because of the ACED.
