[Backup iPhone iTunes] How Long Does It Take To Backup iPhone To iTunes

So why it takes so long to backup my iPhone to iTunes? I have a prior iPhone backup from a week ago that took 9 hours to finish. I am trying to backup my iPhone 11 Pro Max to my computer again and the estimated time in iTunes is 10 hours. Is that normal? Also I have an iPhone 7 with 256GB of storage, and am using about half of that for music, movies, photos (whatever is automatically put there with the iTunes backup), and apps. It does not take that long to backup to iCloud, so why should it take that long to backup to my computer?
