Audio basicly takes less time to encode then video (example would be MP3 encoding), video is much more complex then Audio (as far as I know!) and therefor takes more time, also, you need to consider the fact that when encoding CD Audio Tracks, they are usually just 3 min long and a Video is usually an hour + more, and naturally would take longer to encode, however, encoding times are diffrent for the type of encoding, and the computer being used to encode.
