737-800 Holding time??

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me why the 737-800 with the FMC programmed to hold with 1 min legs and a slack wind would fly nearly a 7 min hold??

Wind: Slack
Hold: DAYNE MAN, Inbound 312, RHTurns, 1 min legs
A/C: Holding at FL70, spd 215kts as per FMC
FMC: 1 min legs at DAYNE, update 10.8

I've not noticed this on the -300, but scratching my head to why the -800 would do nearly twice the standard 4 min hold!!

Any info much appreciated!
