So anything beyond that is giving up the day job, which means paying as much as the day job did for that time... a man-hour is a man-hour, really. If you want to pay someone for *literally* what they are already doing, then I'm sure they would be happier, but it wouldn't make anything happen quicker, because it's still the same amount of time spent.
