I only see a countdown timer once in a while when some program refuses to close. Is that what you're talking about? If so, best solution would probably be to identify the offending program and shut it down first.
That would work, but then when I restart my machine, none of my apps will restart. In my experience, the only apps that hang up the shutdown process are those that the DE is not aware of, e.g. X applications.
If there's a particular thing it always hangs on, I guess I'd be trying to figure out why. You can always force the shutdown, but of course there may be a risk of data loss.
Or you could go to a root shell and type 'init 0', and see if that's faster.
