Use this sql to find the person who is generating lots
of redo.

SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.username, s.program,
i.block_changes FROM v$session s, v$sess_io i
WHERE s.sid = i.sid ORDER BY 5 desc, 1, 2, 3, 4;

   Run the query multiple times and examine the delta
between each occurrence of BLOCK_CHANGES. Large deltas
indicate high redo generation by the session.
Read the Doc 167492.1 in metalink. quite helpfull.

I set this up with 9I Oem performance manager to find
the delta and I was able to some of the guys
generating massive redo's in one of our production
database.
