Why are Homilies so short?

And also, some of the best homilists in our Catholic tradition have said that short homilies at Mass are the way to go (cf. Augustine, John Chrysostom, Humbert of Romans). There's a stark difference between a "sermon" (which is what you describe) and a "homily", and the Mass is no place for a sermon. Then again, I may be wrong. :P:
