Glow plugs are pretty much like an incandescent light bulb. Either they work or they don't - there's usually not much in between.
Modern design GP's (like in diesel pickups) indeed heat up in a matter of 10 seconds or so. However I doubt new replacement GP's for your 460 will heat substantially quicker than the ones originally installed in the engine.
Presuming your GP's are all working you might try letting 'em heat a half minute or more longer than usual before cranking. Also anything that helps will increase cranking speed (fresh batteries and cables, a starter rebuild, lighter oil in the crankcase, block heater, etc.) will aid quicker starting.
