Drop user is slow because you need to be able to roll it back if it fails (eg db crash etc). Try dropping the individual objects first, and then the user .. ie

select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';' from user_objects
where object_type not in ('INDEX','PACKAGE BODY')

(I'm too slack to add decodes for tables to cascade constraint etc - reader exercise that one)
