This benchmark by Warren Koch tests a SQL*Loader ( import of 2m rows, using direct path with index skip set for the baseline. Here's results for differing values for and in SQL*Loader timings.

This is for a load of 1,964,601 rows (about 2 million) from a delimited file. I know I could achieve much higher speeds going to a fixed width format but my data source precludes that.
