About 3 to 4 years ago I experienced the same problem with 10g. I
narrowed down the problem to the export of the users. I had about
120,000 users in the DBA_USERS table (PeopleSoft database) and so
during testing at one stage I dropped all the users and ran expdp
again and it ran much quicker.

Anyway, that was from memory so I hope I have recalled it properly.

I have narrowed down the problem to domain indexes which get created
because of Oracle text indexes which my application needs.
Unfortunately, I cannot get rid of domain indexes so stuck with it god
knows until when.

I have yet another problem with 11g, cannot create db control most of
the time. Oracle support looked at it and there is a bug about it on
metalink, yet they will not document my problem as a bug and fix it.
