A high average value for WaitTime for event 54 indicates that writes are taking a long time to complete. Typically, the value for Waits should be much higher than the value for WaitTime. Query monIOQueue and monDeviceIO to determine if there is a slow or overloaded disk device.

High values for Waits, regardless of the average time, may indicate contention for the last log page. Increase the size of the user log cache to reduce contention, or group operations for applications to avoid committing every row.
