Are you doing your archive to a single dat device? Do you have spare disk drives laying around? When I was confronted with this problem I created multiple archive directories on cooked drives. Then I defined multiple dbspace groups for my archive and ran it in parallel. Then I ran tar scripts to take the disk backups to off site storage. If you could elemenate this step it would be even better. One word of caution is if you go to disk individual dbspace archives can't exceed 2gb unless your os is 64 bit architecture.
