Are you saying it starts up even after you've set it to off? That  
would be unusual.  If you turn it off while it's already running, it  
might take a while to shut down. It has to get all its information and  
links in order before quitting.

If it's a first backup, or a backup that has to copy a lot of stuff,  
it might take a long time.

Another possibility is that your wireless link is weak or there is  
interference and you're getting a lot of dropped packets. That will  
slow it down quite a lot.

I'd let it run overnight and do its thing then. I think a feature  
improvement would be the ability to set time-of-day ranges when Time  
Machine can be disabled..
