From my humble point of view, it appears that God is not in a hurry.

In a hurry for what?

Do you mean in a hurry for the second coming of Jesus? Or the first coming of the Messiah? Or patient regarding individuals’ and the world’s atonement for their sins? Or not in a hurry with respect to answering people’s prayers?

Why should he be? He knows where we’re going. Besides, he may be enjoying a cup of coffee. He has all the time he needs.

All of the above.
But mostly that God seems to answer my prayers. Always. Just on a much longer time scale then I had anticipated.

With regard to answering prayers, I would say that maybe G-d is giving you more time to think things through and reconsider what it is you really want and whether that is something which will help you or not, or which you only think you need at the moment. Patience is often a virtue. Further, sometimes G-d answers our prayers even though we don’t realize it until much later. And other times, G-d says “no,” because G-d knows that answer is for our own long-term benefit.

That is because you are conditioned by a society which expects instant coffee, instant photos, instant service and instant results of every description!
