Because the file you are uploading is big and the pipe you are uploading it on is small..
Think of trying to suck a swimming pool through a straw... it’s going to take a while..

To speed it up you need to buy a faster upload speed on your internet service..
You can test your speed at www .speedtest . net
Test your speed to make sure it's the same/close to what you are already paying for. If it's way off, then call your internet company and complain/figure out how to fix it.
If the speed test says you are getting (close) to what you are paying for, then call your internet company and ask them how much $$ they want to double or triple it..
Note: The internet company will sell you on the fast "download speed" - which does not affect uploading. So be sure to ask what the UPLOAD speed is, as that is what you need to be faster.

Fast internet speeds will help with this, however, you need to look at the upload process too. Copyright/duplication check, sensitive content checks, language checks, speech detection/recognition checks - and I may be wrong, but I think the technology of the YouTube video upload breaks the video up into pieces as part of the process, so it's more than a simple file transfer over the internet.
Add all these factors to a slow internet speed, and I can see why you may have problems. I tend to do other work during the upload, so I use my time well. I create a word document plan with tags, description, title, keyword research, first comment etc. I also create my thumbnail in this time too. so by the time it's uploaded I have everything ready to add.
Hope that helps!

Depends on your file size and internet speed. It usually takes me 5-10 minutes for a 5 minute video of mine to upload and process.
