Personnally, I think playing a turn is so long in late game, that resolution length has no importance.
Battle turn resolution length is very important for large major battles during late game. I've lost large mindless armies and SC's because the battle turn length could not continue for an extra 10 rounds.

I mean, seriously, you just spent one hour giving orders... do you really have nothing else to do than waiting in front of your computer during the 3 or 4 minutes hosting takes (... and before spending ten minutes watching the replays and another hour giving orders for the next turn) ?
Waiting in front of the computer?? Anyone playing large maps knows you don't wait for the turn hosting during late game. As mentioned by Zeldor it's about 30mins for one hour of work, my faster systems cut the time almost in half. Typically I'll do housework, work research, eat some snacks then head back to start the next turn.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if processing a turn took longer as battles didn't have attacking units retreating after 50_turns. Each gamer should have the option of deciding the duration of battle turns and unit/commander limits.
