good point. i might start with "-F" mount option:
"Fork off a new incarnation of mount for each device. This will do
the mounts on different devices or different NFS servers in parallel.
This has the advantage that it is faster; also NFS timeouts go in
parallel. A disadvantage is that the mounts are done in undefined
order. Thus, you cannot use this option if you want to mount both
/usr and /usr/spool."
at least that will speed things up.
