Buffers=n Specifies the number of database buffers used for storing data during the load operation. If no value is specified, the default value for the database is used. (The default value for the database is defined by the logical name RDM$BIND_BUFFERS, or if the logical is not defined, can be determined by using the RMU Dump command with the Header qualifier. The RDM$BIND_BUFFERS logical name, if defined, overrides the value displayed with the RMU Dump command.) Fewer I/O operations are required if you can store as much data as possible in memory when many indexes or constraints are defined on the target table. Therefore, specify more buffers than allowed by the default value to increase the speed of the load operation. See the Oracle Rdb7 Guide to Database Performance and Tuning for detailed recommendations on setting the number of database buffers.
