Another shot with a short answer, instead of just a link: While your
client session/process waits for "log file sync" when comitting, the
LGWR process does the work of writing out the log buffer to disk and
waits for "log file parallel write". "log file parallel write" wait
events happen during the "log file sync" wait event.

Cheers,
Marcus
