    It's probably due to some background processes that are taking a long time to shut down, or they are 'hanging'.
    I believe there's a registry edit to fix this so that it will completely shut down the hanging processes after a fixed time... but first, why not try defragging your hard drive?
    I'll see if I can find the link for the registry edit.

    UPDATE: Here's the link
