Forgot to mention..
I am currently putting a fan under my MBP, so it goes a little longer before turning off again--
 
why are you putting a fan? Is it overheating?
Instead of a proper cooling system with vents sizeable enough along with proper fans, Apples solution is to shut it down. Long after that happens my ThinkPad is still going strong, running fast, cool and quite. It's no heavier than my MBP, yet is just O.2" thicker. With vents on the sides & back, it takes heavy loads in stride. No excuses, no laboring, no shutting down. Just flat out great performance.
