Paul Randal explains that WRITELOG waits can potentially increase as you get faster disk:
I was contacted last week by someone who was confused about the WRITELOG wait type. They were seeing lots of these waits, with an average wait time of 18ms. The log was stored on a Raid-1 array, using locally-attached spinning disks in the server. They figured that by moving the log to Raid-1 array of SSDs, they’d reduce the WRITELOGwait time and get better workload throughput.
They did so and got better performance, but were very surprised to now see WRITELOG as the most frequent wait type on the server, even though the average wait time was less than 1ms, and asked me to explain.
Read on for Paul’s explanation of why this is not a scary situation, or is it particularly weird. SQL Server performance is a complicated thing and trying to limit it to one measure or one query can lead you down the wrong path.
