A whole bunch.

Steve,

Did you recently run "upgrade catalog"?  If so, the first time we upgraded our 
catalog to support 11G databases, we had a couple of target databases 
experiencing similar behavior.  Below is my notes from where I resolved the 
problem.  Apparently I didn't take good notes, but I seem to remember seeing 
"control file sequential read" events showing up in the targets database's 
v$session_wait view.

=======

Symptom: RMAN full resync of recovery catalog takes extra long time.

FIX:

On Target Database:
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_fixed_objects_stats() ;
SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;
RMAN> sql "alter session set optimizer_mode=RULE";
RMAN> resync catalog

More Info: 
I'm backing up to tape
The target and the repository databases are both 11.1.0.7.0
I have crosschecked and deleted several times, only a few days of backups are 
in the control file.
