I'm with you Rgold...especially on long routes where change over are critical.
One thing I tend to do differently is have both climbers use their own gear sling. This way when you are following you can begin racking on the way up, thus eliminating extra gear moves at the belay. Then when you reach the belay, the former leader clip's any left over gear and QD's/runners(which go on the harness) to you while you rerack any nuts.
Also I use a multi-loop gear sling, similiar to the one the OP made for himself. Although i use one commercially available not custom. This generally eliminates the problem of reaching the gear while climbing overhang's. Obviously it doesn't solve the problem completely, but it certainly helps and adds more organisation to the rack. It also makes it easier to get gear off...instead of 8-10 biners clumped together it's 2-3 per loop.
The majority of people I do long routes with practice the same racking technique's. Everyone has slight variations, but the meat of it all is the same.
