Post Turboprop shutdowns

Why do SAAB340, Beech 1900, Dash 8 etc, ie turboprops take so long to shut down once they park on the bay. Jets stop on blocks and almost imediatly shut down yet the propjets sometimes idle for 30 secs.. .. .I think it has something do do with having to shut down various systems, electrical, pnuematic, hydraulic etc, but would like a definitaive answer.
