You're implying they can localize aging, something we have no proof for. "Going through troops too fast" might well be one of the drawbacks to Kaminoan cloning, and can't be used as evidence that that isn't possible.

Well the accelerated aging done with Thrawns clones anyway do not seem to have those problems, the clones of Baron Fel in Vision of the Future where not aging old men, they grew then in a month to maturity, thats around 20 then, 20 years in 1 month thats 240 years in one year, it's been over ten years then since Thrawn cloned them.

Ofcourse the cloning technuiqes used here are different so it might be a bad analogy.
