Top 5 Timed  Events while Log Miner was, er, mining were:

Time    Wait Class

After Log Mining completed and while SQL Apply was continuing, the Top 5 Timed Events were:

Event                               Waits   Time(s)     Percent Total DB
Time    Wait Class
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU time                                     8,118        53.64 
Queue Monitor Task Wait      52     244           1.61  Other
log file parallel write          6,624      21             .14  System I/O
reliable message                 484      19             .12    Other
db file parallel write           1,234      12             .08  System I/O

Log Miner was busy for the first 3 hours of the test.  After that, the
test ran for almost 2-1/2 hours longer before completing.  The
activity of Log Miner with its latch contention didn't seem to
interfere much with SQL Apply.  The transactions/minute steadily went
down throughout the course of the test.  There wasn't a sudden
speed-up after Log Miner finished.

My experience from Oracle7 with contention for the shared pool latch
that actually got worse when the shared pool got bigger makes me
suspect a chain or linked list of some sort that steadily gets longer
and has to be read with each execution of the SQL statement.  The
linear nature of the slowdown sure makes it look like something like
that.  Admittedly, I'm grasping.
