If you changed settings that affect what is backed up (eg: the share
names, BackupFilesOnly or BackupFilesExclude) after the full but before
the incremental then the incremental will have a lot more work to do.
If you make significant changes it's not a bad idea to manually run
a full backup.

As suggested already, inspecting the XferLOG files will tell you more
about why the first incremental took longer than you expected.
