The Moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined at an angle to the equator and in some circumstances the turning of the globe and the orbit of the moon are apparently moving in the same direction. This means that a country in the path of totality that is turning with the Moon will experience a longer eclipse than at other times and places.

The duration of a solar eclipse?
I believe that it is effected by the equinox. Because the sun appears to move faster across our sky's in the winter or slower in the summer this might be the main cause of why a solar eclipse might differ in time. The moons distance from the earth also differs and this may also affect the rate of time that a lunar or solar eclipse occurs.

Why does a lunar eclipse last longer than solar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
