I normally prefer to glow more and crank less. It seems like after about 10 cranks (each cylinder twice) there is enough fuel in there that when it does catch it runs like crap as it spews that fuel out. I would imagine that at this point it would be much harder for the starter to start it anyway. Have you checked the resistance on your glow plugs? (.6-1ohm)
