If checkpoints and archiving are keeping up, then I can't think of a good reason logs shouldn't switch every 2 minutes.

You don't need logminer to find the redo culprit, just this SQL:

select module, osuser, sql_hash_value, value / (sysdate - logon_time) redo from v$session s, v$sesstat ss, v$statname sn where s.sid = ss.sid
and ss.statistic# = sn.statistic#
and name = 'redo size'
order by redo;
