The process re-creates the 10 temp table for each instance of the function
being called.
I.e. this will equate to 500k temp tables for 50k xml files.
The "ON COMMIT DROP" part was added at some stage as an attempt to solve
some performance issues. THe argument was that , since a COMMIT is done
after each of the 50k xml files , the number of temp tables will not build
up and cause any problems.
I can understand the performance issue due to load on the catalog, but I
would not have expected this to have the impact I'm experiencing.

Thanks, I'll try this and see of this makes any difference.
THanks for the input.
