There is a new utility which run much faster but require the main application to run in background (but you can set the application to start with windows and minimize to try) http://digicamcontrol.com/wiki/index.php/Remote_Utility

I know this is quite outdated,

but for the record, been facing the same question.

This thread and Duka's answer pointed me in the right direction.

Kaan in your example you're not running CameraControlRemoteCmd but CameraControlCmd. I first got stuck because I did not pay enough attention to the exe name.
Also, please note the syntax of parameters is a bit different.

CameraControlCmd is intended to control the DSLR in stand alone mode (quite slow, it has to init the device(s) )

CameraControlRemoteCmd is intended to remote control the main Digicamcontrol GUI software so it has to be preloaded.
As Dslr(s) get initialised, the command line capture will be much faster (approx 1s max , vs 4 to 6 s to complete with CameraControlCmd.exe)

Hope this can help someone

BTW, this software is just awesome.
Really, kudos for this guys, I encourage donation (and i will).
