Ross,
IMHO Depends on Your IO subsystem. I am on HP 11.0 and
XP 256 and ORACLE 816 (ALL 64 BIT) and ORACLE gets
data in 1M chunk of data in one IO call while all the
others being the same except storage being AUTORAID we
are getting 256 MB chunks.
Steve Admas has a script and some goodies on this and
you could set your value as per your results. Check
teh following link 
http://www.ixora.com.au/scripts/io_opt.htm
and click
multiblock_read_test.sql 
.
HTH 

Cheers,
RS
