The size of the redo log files can influence performance, because the behavior of<br />
the database writer and archiver processes depend on the redo log sizes.<br />
Generally, larger redo log files provide better performance, however<br />
it must balanced out with the expected recovery time.Undersized log files <br />
increase checkpoint activity and increase CPU usage.<br />
<br />
Checkpoint frequency is affected by several factors, including log file size and <br />
the setting of the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET initialization parameter.<br />
If the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET parameter is set to limit the instance recovery time, <br />
Oracle automatically tries to checkpoint as frequently as necessary. <br />
Under this condition, the size of the log files should be large enough to avoid<br />
additional checkpointing due to under sized log files.<br />

I've read redo logs should rotate every 20 - 30 mins.   Is there a problem if the rotation is even more infrequent say 50 - 60 mins?

Redo log rotation frequency

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
