Ok, so this might be way out there ... but if you take the "identify and terminate slow clients" and "require minimum bandwidth" ideas and add them together, then roll this back into the Ghost server itself ...

It would theoretically be possible for GSS to find the clients that are going to make the imaging process take too long, force them to restart in a new session for the slower clients.  You need to get all of the machines reimaged, they're all unusable until the imaging is completed ... so why not commit them to Ghost and have them loop through until they've completed or you give up on the remaining 1-2 slow systems ?  This could even be implemented using a slider bar or some 80/20 rule that gets the majority of your systems re-imaged ASAP, but also cycles back to pick off the stragglers.
