Yeah, alternating groups is quite common. Actually, AFAIK there is no
guarantee that Oracle switches groups sequentially according to group
number. Usually, it's the case if you create them sequentially. If I
need to rearrange groups than I normally create several "high" groups
and drop all old ones. Than recreate from one and up sequentially and
drop temporary ones.

I noticed that there are 6 groups, 1,2,3 on disk1 and 4,5,6 on disk2

are due to group 2 being written to before 1 is finished, then getting
backed up even more as group 3 is being written to while group 2 is still
getting flushed and group 1 is still behind as well.  I haven't tried it
but i'm wondering if I should rearrange the groups so that each group
would write to a different set of disks on each switch.  I have some
doubts that this is the ultimate fix but it wouldn't be extremely
difficult to change and try.
