What happened!? IMPort tables with "User Defined or XML Datatypes"....so slow!

--Env
Oracle 9206
AIX 5.x

I don't have much experience with "User Defined Datatypes" nor "XML Datatypes".=20
Trying to move a database for a client that uses these datatypes. (not sure but maybe some of them are Nested Tables or VARRAY's vs. "User Defined Datatype"...how can I tell the difference?)

Anyway, in the same database I can IMPort

• 15GB-20GB normal data (no indexes) per hour.
• 10GB GB BLOB data per hour. but only
• 324MB of "User Defined Datatypes" After 1 Hr. 15 Min.
• 53MB of "XML Datatype" After 30 Min.

Any ideas?

Please reply directly to me as well as to the list

Thanks in advance,
