SQL*Net message from client waits on local import

Some background...

Upgrade db from Windows 2003 Oracle 9208 to OEL Oracle 10.2.0.4 the old
fashioned way with import/export

Export dump files to new Linux server and go with the import!

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib;
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1;
export ORACLE_SID=HR89PAR1;
export ORAHOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1;
export
PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin;

What I see from tkprof is the usual suspects along with SQL*Net message from
client waits.

Elapsed times include waiting on following events:
  Event waited on                             Times   Max. Wait  Total
Waited
  ----------------------------------------   Waited  ----------
------------
  log file sync                             2899646        0.97
2097.17
  SQL*Net message to client                 5818723        0.00

  SQL*Net message from client               5818723        1.49

  db file sequential read                   14054600        0.82

So why am I seeing a SQL*NET wait? There are 8000 + tables and I see lots of
little waits here and there, nothing really large.

I thought that my import would be connecting in a bequeath type fashion and
would therefore not expect to see any SQL*NET waits.
