DB_BLOCK_SIZE for Oracle

What should be value for DB_BLOCK_SIZE in Oracle DB (10g Rel 2). Oracle recommends 32 but if you google around a little bit, you will find 100's talking against 32 block size.

I don't usually get that deep into physical set up, but for a data warehouse it makes sense to use a larger rather than smaller block. In places where I have built DW's using Oracle, it was usually set up with 16 or 32K blocks and things performed well.

My guess is there is probably a diminishing return with larger blocks and there is probably and inverse result with relatively sparse queries.

I think it would also depend on the type of disk storage you are using. Stripped RAID (I don't recall what number it is) would do better with larger blocks since it reads in parallel against multiple drives. Mirroring also helps as it provides multiple paths to the same data.
