Confused about air usage

I am confused about air usage. we were setting up a prototype pneumatic system using a 3/4" x 10" cylinder, and 4 tanks. We pumped up the tanks to 100psi and had the pressure limited to about 35psi to the cylinder. I only got it to go in and out about 9 usable times. I saw a formula to calculate this related problem and found that we should technically be able to at 120psi, with a 3/4" x 10" cylinder, have 20 actions. What am I doing wrong?
