&> /dev/null just means that any output that the command produces will
be discarded instead of cluttering the display. That might help reduce
the delay a bit. What might help even more would be running all but the
last command in the background. Otherwise, the system you're sending
those commands from is waiting for each one to complete before it starts
the next one. So just add a space and then one more "&" to the end of
the command.
