The reason that your SHUTDOWN in normal mode is taking so long does not have
to do with your pfile. The reason is that when you do a SHUTDOWN normal,
the database waits until ALL users logout of the database. If even one user
remains on, the database will not shut down. I always use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.
