In short, the time to encode is directly proportional to the quality/encoder settings you give Handbrake. Some combinations of settings will convert quickly but will look ugly. Other combinations will take longer and will result in better-looking video, to a degree. There is a point of diminishing returns.
Also, if you're ripping from the disc itself within Handbrake instead of using a dedicated ripper first (like MacTheRipper), it'll probably be a bit slower due to using VLC's library. In my experience, using VLC's library is a bit slower than using MacTheRipper and then converting that rip.

For information about the presets and how the various options behave, read the wiki:

http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Presets

etc.
Yes, there is a
lot of information out there, but Handbrake is just extremely flexible like that.
