Nope, not true. It depends on the volume of data. Slow archiving can cause "checkpoint not complete" errors and can, in extreme cases, hang your system. Also, both nodes need to see all archives, but they don't need to lock them. That allows NFS. If you have 1GB redo logs and are going through that once a minute because of,say, a huge data load which for some reason cannot be done in nologging mode, you better make sure that your OS is capable of writing more then a gig per minute. Having archives on NFS drive is an exceptionally bad idea if the server goes offline. Then your database will be hung by the neck until the server is back up. May God have mercy on your database.
