Yes, i check the statspack report and find there is about 20 commits/second in may, and now there is 40 commits/second these days. I do not know whether this is too much. THis is a busy oltp system,and the trend is that there will be more and more transactions per second, painful

The average redo size per transaction is quite small, as i can see it from the statspack,
~ Per Second Per Transaction
--------------- ---------------
Redo size: 82,547.28 2,247.16
per transaction is 2kbytes in size. I will try to modify the T3 cache policy. and see if this helps.It can be modified when it is running, as the document said, but my sa do not dare to modify it as i had requested.:(, maybe we have to try it.
oracle_at_main-db1$sar -d 2 2

22:07:35 ssd0,e 100 20.7 199 3189 0.0 104.4 This is the most busy time in the day for the system, and this device ssd0,e is for the redo log volumn, 3189blocks/200=16blocks/second, that means 8KBytes per write.This is some small write, but still much greate than the 2k per transaction. why? other wasted log because of the too large log_buffer_size?
(there should be no read for redo log, right, unless it is being archived, so all write).

This seems hard, we do not have much other information other than the transaction data.
Thanks so much for your help, and your site:)
Good luck!
