> WHOA, No that is not a performance problem.  The Oracle block size needs
> to
> always be a multiple of the OS block size.  Most operating systems today,
> W2K
> being no exception, do not simply read the number of OS blocks that you
> request.
>  They always 'read ahead' in the anticipation that you'll want that data
> in the
> very near future.  The amount of read ahead that is done is OS specific. 
> Therefore if your Oracle block size is <= the OS block size the operating
> system
> will be doing a lot of reading for you that is irrelevant, which can lead
> to a
> phantom performance problem namely your wasting OS reads.  The idea here
> is to
> pick an Oracle block size that is appropriate for your application and a
> multiple of the OS block size.  Also set db_file_multiblock_read_count
> carefully
> since this controls the number of blocks that Oracle requests from the OS
> at one
> time.  If you need one block and have db_file_multiblock_read_count set to
> 100,
> then you get 100 blocks, if the OS allows.
