Yes, the lessons I took from that presentation were to use a shorter piece of string and buy larger bottles of gin though I'm willing to admit that I may have got the wrong end of the stick.

Cheers,

First of all I'd like to have the full picture of your performance: Log file sync might be 57% of the wait time, but how much of the response time is wait time?

Second, Log File Sync means Commit; So if your system is waiting a lot for commits there are two things you can do: Fewer commits (changes to applications) or faster commits (hardware striping, etc.).

No changes to the log buffer will help here (except perhaps making it smaller, as Connor McDonald so brilliantly showed during the funniest presentation I've ever seen in my life at UKOUG in Birmingham). If the log buffer is being flushed constantly, it's better to make it small so that it doesn't have to go through the whole thing every time.
