CPU is fine on the source host/db. (Where the RMAN channel is connected) -
Been running 50% utilized or less every day.
BCT is not turned on.
The RMAN script does this and I'm wondering if its in the 'recovery'
portion of the system datafile though I would expect RMAN to indicate it
had moved onto the restore piece.

This is a compressed backup so you may be cpu bound. Have you checked cpu?
Have you got bct turned on?
Also try section sized backups.

Background:
We're running a Level0 and a Level1 Merge of a 75+ TB database to an ASM
diskroup.
** Looking for comments/ideas/suggestions on whether this is 'normal' or
if its really slow? Seems like a problem to me but I'm not sure as I've
never done a Level1 Merge so maybe reading the SYSTEM datafile is supposed
to be slow for this step? **
The Level0 ran fine, the Level1 merge started and ran fine for hours.
Now all but one of my RMAN channels (6 total) are finished but one channel
is writing very slowly.

So strace shows it streaming operations quickly but I can't figure out why
its taking so long.
The last operation to the rman log file was at 21:55 (9:55pm) last night.
Here's a sample of the RMAN output before it quit writing to the log -
you can see the write times were pretty snappy then it looks like they
started slowing down.
