The redo logs are 6 groups, 2 members each, 1gb in size. The SAN is EMC Clariion. Raid 5 does have somewhat poorer performance in writes in our environment but its usually not a major factor.

Hello Jon,
Before you go into redesign of the redo logs, did you check w/the
SAs/Storage
Admins ? During my last interactions with type of performance issue, I
found
that RAID 5 had a negative effect on overall performance during QA
testing. of
course, your mileage may vary.
Can you share your findings (as seen by SA/Storage Admins). How big are
your
redo logs ? What kind of disks (Storage/SAN) are you folks using ?
