Long shut down times usually indicate that your OS is trying to shut down an application running in the background or if a process is in system memory and has gotten hung up for some reason.

Before you shut down, next time bring up the task manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and see what is hogging up your memory - if any.
