Re: increase insert into local table from remote oracle table preformance

You need to track down your limited resource. IO, CPU, or network. I would say it’s unlikely to be CPU, but you never know. Look at the activities on each server and see what resource is maxed out. My guess is IO, but you could also have your network choked.
