Thanks for doc Shestakov.

I just talked to our Sys Admin guys, and they tell me that we do have controller cache, so, in theory, if Oracle does an i/o, the system call will be returned immediately, if the cache is not full.

Assuming the cache is usually not full, would you guys recommend turning dbwr_io_slaves to 0 and db_write_processes to 1 ?

Would it not be better to have 4 io slaves to do the writting ?? What is bad about that ??
