Goal

We use Oracle Text CONTEXT index and it is important to have TRANSACTIONAL search enabled.
However turning on the "TRANSACTIONAL" option can cause significant performance degradation in all DMLs performed on the base table.
According to traces we've collected, there is significant amount of IO wasted on queries that were prepared recursively as result of the UPDATE .

Are there any know performance issues with this option? Are the any know best practices how to bypass these problems?
