Faud,
What's an ora_i process? The oracle processes (besides connections) I see are:
oracle@:/export/home/oracle $ ps -ef | grep ora_
oracle 15349 1 0 Mar 20 ? 803:07 ora_dbw2_DBNAME
oracle 15343 1 0 Mar 20 ? 0:18 ora_pmon_DBNAME
oracle 15365 1 0 Mar 20 ? 24:03 ora_snp0_DBNAME
oracle 15363 1 0 Mar 20 ? 0:05 ora_reco_DBNAME
oracle 15371 1 0 Mar 20 ? 123:15 ora_arc0_DBNAME
oracle 15383 1 0 Mar 20 ? 116:37 ora_arc6_DBNAME
oracle 15359 1 0 Mar 20 ? 2345:43 ora_ckpt_DBNAME
oracle 15355 1 0 Mar 20 ? 796:49 ora_dbw5_DBNAME
oracle 15353 1 0 Mar 20 ? 776:13 ora_dbw4_DBNAME
oracle 15367 1 0 Mar 20 ? 15:36 ora_snp1_DBNAME
oracle 15351 1 0 Mar 20 ? 785:47 ora_dbw3_DBNAME
oracle 15369 1 0 Mar 20 ? 30:50 ora_snp2_DBNAME
oracle 12533 11168 0 14:15:15 pts/7 0:00 grep ora_
oracle 15357 1 1 Mar 20 ? 5559:09 ora_lgwr_DBNAME
oracle 15381 1 0 Mar 20 ? 103:16 ora_arc5_DBNAME
oracle 15347 1 0 Mar 20 ? 781:11 ora_dbw1_DBNAME
oracle 15373 1 0 Mar 20 ? 102:51 ora_arc1_DBNAME
oracle 15375 1 0 Mar 20 ? 119:24 ora_arc2_DBNAME
oracle 15379 1 0 Mar 20 ? 122:43 ora_arc4_DBNAME
oracle 15345 1 0 Mar 20 ? 793:48 ora_dbw0_DBNAME
oracle 15361 1 0 Mar 20 ? 119:17 ora_smon_DBNAME
oracle 15377 1 0 Mar 20 ? 103:31 ora_arc3_DBNAME
oracle 15385 1 0 Mar 20 ? 104:06 ora_arc7_DBNAME

the first week when the problem starts i would look at the ora_i process. we
had the excact same problem with ora_i being hung and oracle spawing more ora_i
processes until the backusp became real slow and used to crawl to a halt.
killing the previous ora_i processes immediately solved the issues.

SQL> SELECT DISTINCT(incremental_level)

INCREMENTAL_LEVEL
-----------------
So the incremental level is null.

The only thing I can think of that would cause such behaviour is if for
some reason you were actually running a cumulative incremental backup. From
the script you've shown, that doesn't appear to be the case, but could you
check the incremental_level of the rc_backup_set view in your recovery catalog
and verify?

I'm having some issues with a client's RMAN backup. They're on Oracle
8.1.7.4, Solaris 8. It's a weekly full backup, and they're backing up ~1.5TB
to disk, and the longer the instance is up, the longer the backup takes.
