Symptoms

The import with DataPump of tables into an Oracle11g Release 11.2.0.4 database takes almost 45 minutes, while the same import into Oracle10g Release 10.2.0.4 only take 2 minutes.
The slow Import Data Pump performance problem might also reproduce in other Oracle11g Releases (like: 11.2.0.3) or Oracle12c Release 12.1.0.1.
The problem also reproduces when running an Export Data Pump job from such a release database.

The instance was started with following parameters (other configurations also possible):

 sga_target           = 5G
 shared_pool_size     = 0
