Transportable tablespaces

I'm rebuilding a test database in 8.1.6 using transportable tablespaces to copy the data. All is going well except I was just importing a partitioned table (17 partitions) and the imp was sitting on that particular table for 2+ hours. The only lock I saw was against sys.tab$, I'm sure there were more but that was the only one I caught near the end of the import. I have a few waits for the session listed below but surely nothing so outstanding for it to take hours to imp.

Any thoughts on what caused a partitioned table to import for so long versus a regular table? It is a beast of a table, 455 columns, and I saw some procedure executing (I lost the name of it) which appeared to be walking through each column per-partition. Anyone experienced this type of behavior before when transporting tablespaces and if so any thoughts on speeding it up? I was going to take this approach to re-building the production database but this table has 56 partitions in production and that could mean several more hours just to import this one table.
