During a talk with Joe Hill, he indicated how disgusted he was with the way people reacted to the last "The Dark Tower" books, after King wrote at "breakneck speed" after his accident FOR THE FANS and to FINISH.
No one is saying he needs to rush. Your comparison falls through though when he has spent more than 3 times the time on his series to date than King did.
Another part of the frustration is that I honestly don't see the longer durations resulting in a superior product. His best books in the series were the ones that he wrote inside of two years.
The longer it takes him to write, the worse the book it seems to me. It just feels different and more disjointed, possibly due to segments of the books being written and finished years from others and therefore suffers a change in writer's perspective.
Also, you start to hurt your characters with books this long in duration because you change their characterization of them mid story because you changed your mind from 7 years ago.
Maybe it's just me, but while DwD wasn't bad, it just seemed "meh" to me, and kinda flat.
And don't get me started with how he turned some of it to masturbatory erotica due to his personal issues

Careful...King actually started (finished?) the first draft of The Gunslinger in 1970, and it could be argued that he has been writing bits and pieces of TDT ever since....and still is (The Wind Through the Keyhole)
Speaking of Joe Hill...it didn't surprise me at ALL that in "N0S4A2" he introduces a character-very much a "Trashcan Man" type-a janitor, who just so happens to work for a VERY large drug company (who manufactures weapons-grade gasses among other WMDs, along with the baby aspirins and cough suppressants) called NorChemPharm...NCP...North Central Positronics.
I think the series may be completed...but not finished even now.
