How often are you performing log switches during peak usage?
Is the CKPT process running? (IIRC, it is automatically started in 8 under certain conditions, such as a large # of database files).

The following parameters are set in the init.ora:-
NAME VALUE
------------------------------ ---------------
log_checkpoint_interval 25600
log_checkpoint_timeout 0
log_checkpoints_to_alert TRUEThis means that a checkpoint will happen every 12Mb of
redo being filled, os block size is 512. The size of the redo logs are 50Mb, as a solution, I recommend setting the log_checkpoint_interval to at least 50Mb to reduce the occurrences of these checkpoints.What am noticing in the alert log is that a checkpoint is happening every minute at peak times, this is clearly putting considerable overhead on the lgwr.
Oracle 8.0.6.3.0 on Solaris 5.8
Anyone got any thoughts on the above or experienced checkpoints going mad on 8.0.6.
TIA
