To get in the nSec range you will need to keep you total stages to 6 or
less.  The stage to stage connections really start to add up the inductance.
The really powerful ones I have seen operating at 1 MEV or more operating
with this fast risetime usually charge 5 stages at 200 kV per stage.

Definitely not possible with 15-20 stages.  As Ken pointed out the caps also
have to be very low inductance design to permit this.
