[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1610065, member: 38864"] There may be something running in the background that is forcing OS X to pause the shutdown process until it is finished doing whatever it is doing. It could be an app you have running that needs to clean up some cache files before it closes, or write some cache files before closing. Try booting into Safe Mode and see if you have the same slowness. Do the same with a new user account. Log out of your usual one and into the new one. Then just shut down from there without running any apps and see if there is a difference. [/QUOTE]
