If you have thousands of servers what you are doing is not a good way. If you have a couple of cows you treat them as a farmer would, but if you have thousands of cows you need to start thinking as a rancher. That means multithread and/or parallelization. You cannot afford to cater to each server so much interactive sysadmin time. Even when it appears to be just a few seconds of visual attention.
Nevertheless, if you were to first fire-up a reboot to each server in serialization, (I presume you are doing that via script as well), by the time you finish issuing the reboot to the last one, you can start checking on the first one, with the script as stand, and most likely the first server has rebooted already.
