The way AEG's work is that a battery powered motor turns gears to compress a spring...until it releases and shoots. The "wind up" is an evil fact of life.
The other kick in the nuts with AEGs is that if you goose things up to quicken trigger response (taken as the time between pressing the trigger and the shot completing) you end up with a very high rate of fire (read stupid fast ROF).
So thinking about the system like that there are several points you can influence.
* softer spring - less force to compress = faster compression = quicker trigger response
* "bigger" battery - deeper reserves of power to sustain as much power as the motor will drawn for repeated semi or full auto strings
* high speed/torque motor
* high ROF gear ratio - affects how many turns of the pinion gear it will take to complete a rev of the sector gear. Better with milder springs = lower FPS
* wiring - 18-16AWG wiring removes a bottle neck in the system to allow the motor to draw as much power as it needs without buring up the wires/shielding
* mosfet - preserves the integrity of the switch...otherwise it'll tend to burn out with higher V/power setups.
So what you decide to change is up to you...some things can be changed on their own (i.e. dropping down to a softer spring)....others should be done together (i.e. change to a high ROF gear set and switch to a softer spring).
