Hi,
 
I notice a dramatic speed increase (3 to 4 times faster) by using the -F option when starting the database, at a cost of database corruption if the OS crashes. This database is mission-critical so data reliability is extremely important, meaning I cannot use the -F option. Are there any ways of achieving similar speed increases without using the -F option? I am using RedHat 6.1, 7.0.2, -B 2048 -N 1024 -i.
 
Thanks,
Mark.
