Hi, Remigiusz,

Some more ideas to consider:

- if you suspect bad performance of the storage containing your redo logs (case B in Cary Millsap's notation), it would be helpful to check 'log file parallel writes' wait event. This event is recorded and IO time is measured by LGWR itself, so this is reliable source of info at first hand. The only problem with this measure is that the IO size may vary significantly... Though in your case (frequent commits) that would not be the case.

- the problem might also be with OS delays in redo log file opening at log switch. Why not to try to help OS and make this process a little bit more easy? Steve Adams has a script on his site named hold_logs_open.sh. IMHO, it's worth looking at.

- well, you can also turn on LGWR tracing at level 8 to see log switch details in the microscope...
