Techniques are provided for managing cached data objects in a mixed workload environment. In an embodiment, a system, log data is stored in one or more buffers. In response to receiving a request to perform a logical write, a first process writes a first portion of the log data to a log file in persistent storage. While the first portion of the log data is being written to the log file, a second process writes a second portion of the log data in the one or more buffers to the log file in persistent storage. In another embodiment, a request to perform a second logical write may be received before the first logical write completes. While the first log data is being written to the log file, one or more processes write second log data for the second logical write to the log file.
