Should I SHRINK SPACE or ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT after a TRUNCATE?

G'Day experts !

After using TRUNCATE TABLE ... on a production DB to empty out a table with over a million rows, should I be using any of the following commands by way of cleanup and performance?

ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
ALTER TABLE ... SHRINK SPACE;

I'm wondering if Oracle's internal housekeeping (9i and 10g) takes care of shrinkage for me, or I have to do it manually.

Thanks!
