Why is StratixIVGX device's compilation time so long?

Device: EP4SGX180 Software: QuartusII 11.1 + sp2 Resource uage: about 60% The compiling time is more than 1 hour, why?

I really dont think you can estimate how long it should take because there are many factors like resource usage, routing usage, timing requirements etc that can really affect how long a compilation takes.

From what pantxoa says, maybe look at getting more CPU cores, more ram and an SSD.
