Make your log files larger.
Read about LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL, LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT, CHECKPOINT_PROCESS. Think about your recovery procedures and what real granularity you need to recover to. You can force log switches to occur periodically with ALTER SYSTEM. So use much larger log files to handle the batch jobs, and cron to keep the granularity constant.
