The most significant choke point in almost every (properly implemented) pneumatics system is the solenoid valve. You should be using 3 solenoid valves, one per piston, to achieve the fastest deployment time possible. There are also numerous threads in the pneumatics section detailing other techniques to maximize deployment speed/power if using 3 valves doesn't do the trick for you.

Good luck!
