Are you shutting down the database while recovery is in progress or is
there any tool that is doing that for you? I mean, the recovery could
be taking so long because something is kicking it away before it is
finished?
For what I know recovery should be kind of proprotional to the
checkpoint configurations, have you changed such settings to get very
high windows over checkpoints?
