AK,

If the log buffer is at least 4MB, then increasing it will not help, rather it may hurt. The log buffer is flushed when any of the the follwoing occur
(i) 1 MB is filled up
(2) 1/3rd is filled up
(3) every 3 seconds
(4) when a checkpoint occurs
(5) when a commit occurs.

Therefore, see if any of these could be the problem. It's easy to check #s 4 and 3.

As Kirti suggested, the problem could be due to the redo logs being on a busy disk, or even a slow one.

HTH. Arup

  Increasing log_buffer size is an option, if it is really small.   I would also check if the redo logs are on a busy disk. If so, try moving those (or other busy data files on the same disk) to other not-so-busy disks.

    I am finding tons of "log buffer space" waits in 10046 output . Does it necessarily means I should look for resizing log_buffer ? What else can be done or looked at to reduce these waits .

    Thanks,
