Interpolating from those load figures, you'll probably have to wait for 5 to 10 more hours ;)
It looks like you were testing the machine /very/ close to the thrashing point and the garbage collection afterwards pushed it right over the edge.
One possible solution to speed things up would be to send -SIGSTOP to 90% of the oracle processes and wake them up again slowly later on... (this is basically what thrashing control in an OS does, suspend processes and wake them up again later)
