Have patience - the default is for systemd to give processes 90 seconds to
stop gracefully before forcefully killing them ( the 30 sec / 1 min 30 sec
bit)

With the older sysv scripts things were not so graceful ...

If there's a service that frequently takes ages to stop you may want to
investigate why (eg is it missing a dependency on a network filesystem and
then gets stuck when the network filesystem goes before it does).
