Something to consider perhaps is the use of lguest, which is currently
i386 only, but does boot up nearly instantaneously, and can be scripted,
as its console is the launching shell.
Is there an efficient technique for mounting a disk image so that changes
made to it are discarded?
Sure, just create an LVM writable snapshot of your master image, and boot
with that instead, and throw away the snapshot when you're done.
