How to decrease Buffers Flushed?

How to decrease Buffers Flushed (PROMON Activity or _ActBuffer._Buffer-Flushed VST)?
When should I use more APWs?

Buffers Flushed metrics are found in several PROMON views:

• promon -> 5. Activity    "Buffs Flushed"
• promon -> R&D -> 2. Activity Displays -> 1. Summary       "Flushed at chkpt"
• promon -> R&D -> 2. Activity Displays -> 4. Page Writers  "Flushed at checkpoint"
• promon -> R&D -> 3. Other Displays   -> 4. Checkpoints.  (per individual checkpont)

With an Enterprise database license, start an additional APW. 
As general rule of thumb, if the number of buffers flushed is higher than 10, increase the bicluster size, increase the number of page writers, or increase disk write capacity. For further advice refer to Article:

•  How to determine an optimum before-image (BI) file cluster size  
•  Basic guide to determine how many APWs are required for a database?  
•  How to force dirty data buffers to disk  

With a Workgroup or Personal database license, since APWs are not available increasing the BI Cluster size would likely increase the duration of the checkpoints further as the first process that needed to move to a new BI cluster would first have to write all database buffers that were referenced in the BI cluster. Consider upgrading to an Enterprise Database License if performance is a priority.
