My DB was writing to my redo log files too fast and causing errors. As this was the case, I increased my redo logs from 5 * 50M to 5 * 100M files. Although checkpoints are all being reached now, the logs are switching every 5 mins regardless of the amount of people on the system. Is there some setting anywhere that is forcing the logs to be switched every 5 mins regardless of whether the log is filled up or not. Could my log buffer be too small and is this causing the problems?

So it's not just down to the amount of data? The logs aren't full?
The parameter Archive_Lag_Target sets how long (in seconds) the Db will go before forcing a log switch.
But, I'd say if you're not having a problem with the amount of data in the redo logs, just leave it.
