its not typical/strange to see flashbacklogs occupy more space(just check 
timestamp of flasback logs produced.....would be kept from long time say 2 to 3 
months).oracle says it deletes them when space has to be reclaimed but i never 
find this valid as we had lot of space issue's because of this logs.
   
  i dont think that there is a way to campare the sizes with archivelogs......

I have a dev system running in archivelog mode with flashback database on. It 
appears that the flashback logs are using four times as much space as the 
archivelogs ...

1* select * from v$flash_recovery_area_usage
SQL> /

FILE_TYPE PERCENT_SPACE_USED PERCENT_SPACE_RECLAIMABLE NUMBER_OF_FILES
------------ ------------------ ------------------------- ---------------
CONTROLFILE 0 0 0
ONLINELOG 3.91 0 8
ARCHIVELOG 10.58 0 23
BACKUPPIECE 0 0 0
IMAGECOPY 0 0 0
FLASHBACKLOG 43.15 42.72 158 

Is this typical? What ratios are others finding?

Thanks,
Duncan.

Check the V$FLASHBACK_DATABASE_LOG view 
(retention_target/estimated_flashback_size).
