 How do we check the checkpoint frequency?
Is it thru log_chkpt_true_alert parameter which records checkpoint info in alert_log file?

Correct me if i am wrong?

Frequent checkpointing writes dirty buffers to the datafiles more often than otherwise, and so reduces cache recovery time in the event of an instance failure. If checkpointing is frequent, then applying the redo records in the redo log between the current checkpoint position and the end of the log involves processing relatively few data blocks. This means that the cache recovery phase of recovery is fairly short.

However, in a high-update system, frequent checkpointing can reduce runtime performance, because checkpointing causes DBWn processes to perform writes
