I don't know anything official other than that JKR said she was glad 
she had insisted upon NO set deadlines for books 5, 6 & 7.  

That being said, wouldn't you think from things she's said that #5 
was so pivotal that it just took really long?  That PLUS having put 
out FB and QTTA AND having gotten married AND having had a baby?  
It's no wonder it took three years!

At least those are *my* rationalizations [read: hopes!] for why it 
won't take so long between 5 & 6.
