Reason is that nmap waits for a response, retries, waits etc. Once it decides the port is not responding it continues. There is a little smartness, because nmap tries different ports simultaneously.
Another scanner solves this issue. unicornscan typically scans al 64k ports in 3 minutes and 45 seconds when you use a scan rate of 300 packets per seconds
To my knowledge, unicornscan is today still the best way to do a udp scan. Possible issue is that it is available in Linux only. I have not seen working versions on Windows or Mac (although I expect in theory it should be possible to get it working on Mac).
