Have you considered giving your wheel more inertia? You could put two flywheels (one on each side of the shooter wheel). This will help keep your wheel up to speed when shooting, reducing spin-up time as a result.

NOTE: This would be between-ball spin-up time. Initial spin up time from 0rpm would be increased, but you just have to find a balance between the two.
