That's a misconception. It's not like DC stops drawing while coding and stuff catches up and waits until the update is out, but he starts drawing art for the next update while his team finishes the current one.That would make sense if the bottleneck was in the art department, but it's not. Just look at the current tracker, art is ahead of everything else by a large margin, at 80% complete, on the other hand coding is the progress bar that's dragging behind, at 43%. This isn't an issue of DC not being able keeping up with the art output, the problem lies in not having a full time coder.
That's why adding more coders wouldn't improve the overall speed. It would just shorten the time between him finishing the art and releasing the update once. After that we'd be back to where we are now, having saved like 4 weeks or so once.
Edit: Just to add, I do indeed think that he should hire another coder to help out, given that they could indeed polish the whole release procedure and given that he could really easily afford it. But it's just important to see that it won't really make the time between releases any shorter going forward.
