Look for "log buffer waits" in v$system_event. You'll always get a few around a log switch, but if you're got heaps, then you're log buffer may a little small - or your log files too slow...

The alert log is a good place to check for log file sizing - a commonly accepted rule of thumb is log files should fill no more than every 30 mins
