With Michael we did some tests and confirmed PostGIS to always
be disk bound for both GeoServer and MapServer runs, even with Oracle
shut down
However when Michael reversed the roles Oracle did well and was not
disk bound at the second (or third?) run. I guess POstgres is still
down since then.

Mind, Oracle has the data in 2D, so maybe that's the cause.
Or maybe it's something different, don't really know :-)

Cheers
