Recently I had task for importing into OWB large Oracle database schema (about 4000 tables with more than 6000 primary/unique/foreign key constraints). The import process took more than 2 hours (I disabled importing physical properties, paritions and indexes). I tried another approach - generating OMB*Plus script for creating tables (with constraints) from database dictionary. This approach works twice faster - generated OMB*Plus script created all tables withing 1 hour.
The first create this function (used for extracting CSV list of columns which compose specified constraint):
create or replace function "OWBLand_Get_Constraint_Columns" (P_TABLE_NAME IN VARCHAR2, P_CONSTRAINT_NAME IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
vColumnList VARCHAR2(2000);
TYPE tColumnTab IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
vColumnTab tColumnTab;
CURSOR curConstraints(pt VARCHAR2,pc VARCHAR2) IS
select column_name from user_cons_columns where table_name=pt and constraint_name=pc order by position;
BEGIN
OPEN curConstraints(P_TABLE_NAME, P_CONSTRAINT_NAME);
FETCH curConstraints BULK COLLECT INTO vColumnTab;
CLOSE curConstraints;
FOR i in vColumnTab.FIRST .. vColumnTab.LAST LOOP
IF i=vColumnTab.FIRST THEN vColumnList:= ''''||vColumnTab(i)||'''';
ELSE vColumnList:=vColumnList||','''||vColumnTab(i)||''''; END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN vColumnList;
END;

Save this script to file (for example with name gen_model.sql, don't forget to change target filename in spool command at the start of this script):

Then run script gen_model.sql under SQL*Plus:
@gen_model.sql
As a result you got OMB script (in my case it was owb_temp.tcl file in the root of dick C:) which you can run under OMB*Plus with source command. Before executing this script change current context to corresponding source module (with OMBCC command).
