Marc:
1st:  What Kai said.
This is why people invented servers, the ad-hoc network structure
just does not work well.


2nd:  Assuming you have been forced into this and can't get around it,
look at man mount
and see if the -F parameter might speed the process.  You will still
get the wait, but only one wait, as all mounts will be done in
parallel.

You might also be able to foist the "hotplug" option with the -o option.
