on another list we've being discussing commit times. During this discussion
the following assertion was made by some who knows full well what they are
about and yet which surprised me. The quote is in relation to a reasonably
heavily used system that incurs log file sync waits of between 15 and 20s on
average.

"At 17ms it had BETTER be an I/O problem. That sucks by the way - there's
something horribly wrong if log file parallel write time is consistently
>3ms "

I've created a poll at  http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/473207  for both log
file sync and log file parallel write, I'm intrigued as to what typical
figures actually are. I'd be grateful if you could take a moment to look at
a statspack or equivalent report from your monitoring tool of choice and
update the survey with your results.

cheers
