after oracle suggested bumping up db_writer_processes from 2 to 4, at times it
is still getting pegged out. "write complete waits" will become a top time 
event.
drilling down will show:

SID      User                           Wait state/time Waiting Location
23       db_user                In waiting (2ms)         write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604
30       db_user                In waiting (88ms)       write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604
179      db_user                In waiting (101ms)      write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604
189      db_user                In waiting (0ms)         write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604
354      db_user                In waiting (109ms)      write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604
1532     db_user                In waiting (6ms)         write complete waits, 
TEMP datafile:604

and diff users will fall in out of these write complete waits. i always see 
TEMP... not any other dfiles.
also during these times... ora_ckpt will start blocking other sessions. is this 
I/O contention? any suggestions?

dbwr_io_slaves is set to 0.
this is 11.2.0.2 on solaris sparc 64.

thanks
