did you change a registry key / tweak to
\"clear pagefile at shutdown\" ?
it is usually the cause of long shutdown,

keep in mind the reason it may delay is services are being halted and net connections being closed.

Mine takes 10 seconds...After trying 2 or 3 differant firewalls I found that Zonealarm and Sysgate V4 were the cause of it. While useing any one of those it could take up to 35 seconds to shut down...This might be a problem with others as well...
