--description--

The phrase too long is used when something takes more time than is necessary or desired. For example, The meeting lasted four hours. Four hours is too long for a meeting!

It's different from so long, which is often used to express that something takes a significant amount of time, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's more than what is wanted.
