In case it will help anyone:
I've often been annoyed at how long it can take to run the prereq checks when applying an RU, specially as they aren't necessary if you have already run the CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail successfully. But I have just found this,
OPatch 12.2.0.1.37+ Introduces a New Feature to Delete Inactive Patches in the ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage Directory (Doc ID 2942102.1)
It's a facility that was introduced two years ago, and I hadn't noticed. Doing this,
./opatch util listorderedinactivepatches
./opatch util deleteinactivepatches
reduced the the prereq time for a system I'm patching at the moment from 8 minutes to 50 seconds. Nice.
