Any impact to DML(insert,update,delete,commit)  when checkpoint starting ,  not sure any lock waiting ?



Checkpoints consume disk I/O.  If the pages your DML are touching are not already in shared memory, getting them there also consumes I/O.  The WAL writing consumes I/O.
I would expect some possible (but I'd think minor) contention if the changes are touching the same buffer pages that are being flushed to disk.  But pages are fairly small individually.
