Lots of ways to hold it down for a little while.

You're talking about building up pressure in the lines to the air cylinder, essentially. There is little volume in those lines (or, at least there shouldn't be!) and thus it won't help the cylinder deploy a whole lot faster.
The 'right' way to solve this problem IMO is to increase flow to your mechanism (better valves, shorter tube runs, multiple storage tank taps, multiple norgren regulators, multiple smaller cylinders to utilize more valves) rather than adding a whole other mechanism to restrain a cylinder.
