Presuming you've used RMAN to backup that database it's a simple pair of commands:

restore database;
recover database;

You're not restoring/recovering a database, you're copying a tablespace/schema. That is a different situation. And how do you define 'really slow'? How long does it take DB2 to perform the same task? Some timing information would be very helpful here.

That's not the command you're using? It's 'something like' that? How different is it? What information are we missing? What did you change that you failed to mention? We can't answer the question if we don't know the exact command you've entered.
