usually it is "log file sync" (especially while log switch is
performed), which is quite high, however as it is visible in excerpt
below, log file sync is almost the same as log file parallel write.
So I am not sure if log_buffer change will have any impact on log writer
performance - may be it would if we set log_buffer size somewhere
between 1,5M and 0,5M, when some commits would be written down during
background initiated writes, but we have big number of small commits, so
it is possible that most of log writes are forced by those small
commits. "log file sync" is mainly seen while log switch is performed,
so I would rather think our I/O subsystem for redo logs is just too slow
and smaller log_buffer size won't improve our situation
