I'll agree with all of that, and I'm a bit wary that it sounds like I'm
having the last word. I'd just like to be on record as saying that *in
general* you don't need one dbwr per cpu, not that you must wait until you
have 8 cpus. Once again I'd be driven by the percieved performance of the
system for the users. It seems to me that the performance tuning our job as
dbas to translate 'my order entry screen is too slow' into specific
technical steps, not to continually perform technical adjustments, because
they 'seem' appropriate.
