Check point not completed in oracle 8i

Question

Hi,
in alert log file i found the error like:
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 216998
Checkpoint not complete
Current log# 5 seq# 216997 mem# 0: /oracle5/oradata/metasolv/redo05.log
Current log# 5 seq# 216997 mem# 1: /oracle2/oradata/metasolv/redo05a.log
Wed May 7 17:21:01 2008
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 216998
it appers suddenly in alert log file and database users are complaining that database is very very slow and not able to complete theri task in database and lot of archive log are generating in archive destanation, what will be the exact cause.
Regards
Prakash
