Well, I'm concerned about this because I have some daily process generating a LOT of redo (many inserts/updates), and my idea is to avoid redo log IOs - but, if 20 Mb of buffer isn't sufficient, I quit.

This is the dafault value - what is the more apropriate value for the param ?

But i have 1 Gb, and Oracle is the only app in the box - this way, 250 Mb (the value of my SGA today) means 25% of the physical RAM. Moreover, the SO keep all the SGA in just one block, and there isn't paging - see below :
