Charlie,
all of the following control the variable size.
 db_block_buffers ( Of course db_cache_size in 9i) and
sharedpool_size and log_buffer_size.
The thing to note is you have your log_buffer_size set
to way higher than necessary. IMHO For such a small(
test ? ) system few KBs would suffice.
watch out for the minimum requirement for shared pool
size.
