Export of CLOB too slow ?!!

Friends,

This is on oracle 10.2.0.1 / AIX5.3L on IBM P595 machine which
has got 64 CPUs and ~200G RAM.

Export of a 100GB schema in this database takes 11+ hours. The
reason export being slow , I feel , is 32 out 118 tables have CLOB
column.  And the largest 2 tables (with CLOB) have 7 million
(20G in size) and 3.5 million (10G in size) rows respectively.

15 million rows are with CLOB data of the total 23 million rows
to be exported.

Is the export expected to be this slow on such a hardware ?
Read on the net that splitting the big clob tables based on primary key
using QUERY parameter (of export) and running them in parallel
would help. Is this is a proven method ? I need to test it though.

Any other suggestions to speed up this export ? Thanks in advance.

Regards | Jp.
