Hmm, this looks intersesting.  I have:

star_transformation_enabled          string
FALSE
transactions                         integer
973
transactions_per_rollback_segment    integer                          5

so if threads = 98 then reserved space could be could reserve up to 12M,
but that doesn't explain why I would see a lot of these switches when
only ~2M have been put in the logfile, or why this has changed in the
last couple weeks (before AWR went nuts last week, I was getting maybe 3
switches a day...and I know that's bad but I can't get damagement to
approve smaller logs)

Rich,

Thanks - Brain didn't catch up with last post there.


John,

I recall Tanel Poder making some comments about
"private threads" having space reserved in the log 
file - do you have a very large value for the 'transactions'
parameter: which would require a lot of private threads,
which possibly might pre-empt a lot of space in the logs 
then not use it.  (10.2, 64Bit - private threads can take
128Kb each, and threads = ceil(transactions / 10)
