There is a misconception that multiple TL files will improve the performance… not at all… At a time system writes only to one physical log file… if the first one filled then it goes to next and in a cyclic mode… so having multiple TL physical files will not improve the IO unlike in the case of Data Files… I hope this link will answer your doubts http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179355.aspx
