[Casper] imaging a large group via NetBoot- Casper

We are using Casper with a Netboot server and only one Casper server for
the packages.  It seems to be taking a very long time to image MacBooks
out of the box.  What kind of numbers has anyone else been getting?  
If I do just 1 or 2 it will complete in about 45 minutes, if I step it up
to more than 7 the time goes to over 3 hours. If I add more servers for
the packages will that help?

Any ideas, suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
        Shawn
