Hi,
I'm using Oracle 11g since a few months. Db is nearly empty, just a few empty tables and about 20 types defined.
System is WinXP sp2, 2 Gb memory.
At startup or resume - there is a heavy system activity for a couple of minutes. The top process is oracle.exe, eating up to 20% of CPU. But there is a strong disk activity, which almost blocks the system till it finishes (a few minutes).
The task manager reports no process swapping though, since memory remains far below 2 Gb.
Any suggestion to avoid this effect is appreciated.

Thanks, Michel.
Indeed I considered swapping as the main reason - but I was confused by the task manager reporting nearly 1.3 Gb of memory usage.
I still don't understand the SGA issue - whatever it is.
I didn't touch anythings after installation.
DB usage occurs through SQL Developer and mostly from Java/JDBC.

Ah ok, in short SGA it's about server memory usage.
I installed Oracle using defaults for whatsoever it needed - thus no configuration parameters were ever changed (nor I would even know how to).
The oracle service itself is started up/shutdown automatically, there is no alert.log, or I couldn't find it.
Anyway I just purchased another Gb of memory, just in case.
Thanks,

Issue "show sga" command as I said.

The way the service stops the database depends on registry parameter, check HKLM\SoftWare\Oracle\<your home name>

It is in the directory pointed by background_dump_dest parameter. It is there no doubt.
