Finally! This is by far the clearest explanation. Your analogy makes a ton of sense. Thank you.

oh,, thanks for the award ;)) just a side note, i guess Oracle might precache the data that will be fetched next, so d) is not really an issue

So what will be this typical throttle size, aka practical size of pipe?

@Sumedh too many variables, you need to do your own tuning for your project, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_tuning

Given that in most case, processing of results and fetching are synchronous, I am curious to know, between each fetching, is Oracle doing any work to prepare for subsequent fetches? If not, then it is simply like, 1st person only folds required number of papers that 3rd person ask for, and when 3rd person is cutting shape, 1st person just stand still without doing anything. Then apart from point 3 about TCP/IP throttling, setting a fetch size of 1000 is not going to be worse than 10. Is my understanding correct?
