This is due to a range of factors, not the least of which being the reproductive cycle of any given species-come-genus, or...if we prefer, clade. Macroevolution can (and does) occur faster for flies than primates. They fuck faster, and more often.
Then clearly, by your own description, the number of generations and number of offspring per generation, are a better indicator of when macroevolution has taken place, than time.
And yet, microevolution and macroevolution don't care how many generations have taken place or how long it takes; only what changes that have occurred in those generations.
