What version of WiX where you using? I know there is a bug fix in 3.5 that fixes a regression for multi-threaded cabbing. IF you already have more than one cab you might want to try that out. Also, work should be done to determine the correct compression ratio for your files. I have seen some files take an excessive amount of time to compress. Set everything to mszip, if you aren't doing that already, to see what type of speed you get with multiple cabs.
