    The reason for this is due to it trying to close all the programs and processes that are running in the background. Sometimes for me it does the same but i just give it time. If you want to speed up the processes think about shutting down the programs that you have running in your taskbar. That may increase the speed of the shut down.

    I would not touch your system configuration> would delete some of the programs you have in your startup menu :) or in your startup processes.
