Hi

SQL Server uses only one virtual log file per database at a time, so having
multiple transaction log files will not help.

Transaction logs are only a performance problem when they are not on disks
that are optimal for them. As they are sequential writes, RAID-10 is best,
and on separate drives to the database files so the IO is not shared by data
reads.
