I am just reading the chapter "Instance Tuning-The Redo Log Buffer and Miscellaeous Tuning" from Performance Tuning 101. I'll digest that and then act. I am not in a desparate situation and don't want to just cahnge things for the sake of just changing them. RTFM first, hose things up later!!

I prefer the 'log buffer space' wait in v$system_event, v$session_event. Its rare in "typical" systems for a log buffer over (say) 512-1024k to provide any benefit. hth connor --- "Farnsworth, Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am doing some performance monitoring on an 8.1.7 > DB on Windoze.
