If the clone masters used every template once, then killed the original, that would leave them with exactly the same number of people they started out with, which would be pointless...
What I recall was that the disturbance arose between the already mature (assuming a mature original) template and the growing clone(s). So, if you start a batch of say 20.000 spaarti clones and kill the template immediately, it seems possible that you will have 20.000 clones faster than the normal 3-5 years without the tendency to go insane.
IIRC, it is stated in AOTC that it took ten years to train 200,000 troops to combat readiness. Where did this 4 month figure come from?
It came from the 9 months embrional stage. More specifically from the half of it. (I assumed that the growth acceleration worked even at that stage.) So, yes, it takes ten years to have even a single soldier, but with continuous "production" after the ten years you can have a soldier with every 4 - 4.5 months from the same incubator whereas conventional spaarti clones takes only three or so years, but you cannot use the same tube until the first clone is "finished". Of course, the continuous production of Kaminoian type clones requires huge training facilities, as I wrote.
