Hi

I have been suggested by some Oracle Consultant to set 20 Database Writer in
a 12 CPU HP-UX Server.

Does anyone know what are the side effects of having excessive DBWR? I
detected a higher CPU usage (between, 1% to 2%) not sure if its due to the
number of Database Writer. Because when I increased the number of DBWR at
init.ora I also changed these parameters

_row_cache_cursors = 60
_kgl_latch_count = 59
_kghdsidx_count = 4
statistics_level = basic

again suugested by this guy.

TIA

Alex
