It's been a while since I did a manual database create, so I haven't needed to run catalog.sql for a while. I do know that there are some 8000 or so java classes that the jvm has to compile and resolve references on ... so I've seen it take quite a while before. That's the main reason I use DBAssist and copy the starter database from the CD (all that java stuff is already in there). It's easier, IMHO, to create the starter db, then drop unnecessary things than to start from scratch. Before Oracle decided to put the jvm in their db, building a new "empty" db was "quick" (well, by my definition, it was quick).
