How can I make auto-hide/show for the dock faster?

I really like the auto-hide feature of the dock in Mac OS X. However, the **animation for the dock to reappear is just a bit too slow** for me. Since this is quite annoying, I disable the feature. > Is it possible to manually shorten the time for the dock > to reappear? Btw: I am aware that one can use the key-combo ⌥⌘D to toggle auto hide/show for the dock. But I want solution without using the keyboard.
