It was noticed during siebel repository import in an Oracle Database 11.2.0.3, most of database wait time was log file switch.
It took 163 minutes for 3,639,432 rows (98% waits log file switch).
The database session did ~730.000 commits (meaning 1 commit every 5 rows).
If the /Z and /h option are used (with 5000 as argument) the time is less than 10 minutes for the same repository.
There is no way (until Dec 2012) to put /Z or /h in ucm file, so the only solution is to use the command line interface (Oracle support replied that is a product defect).
Reference from Oracle documentation:
Importing a Siebel Repository
NOTE: When you import data into the Siebel Repository tables, a commit is performed once for each table into which repository data is imported. Alternatively, the commit frequency can be set to a specified number of rows by including the command-line option /h num_rows_per_commit when the repimexp.exe utility is invoked.
/H [number] (Optional) Number of rows per commit
/Z [number] (Optional) Array Insert Size (Default: 5)

It was a great help; repo import time reduced to 168 min to 36 min. Thanks
