A slightly messier, but somewhat more effective trick I've been using,
is to thread the ends of the strips onto bamboo skewers, and hang them
straight down through the bars of the oven rack, with a pan underneath
to catch drips.
It seems to cut down on the drying time somewhat, and I think you can
pack more strips into a smaller space without crowding to the point
where they don't dry properly.
