user6694: Is it possible to get a transaction with no fee attached processed faster by sending it directly to my own bitcoind running with mintxfee=0?
Does the speed of my hardware play a role?
Is there anything else I need to set in bitcoind?
Is there another way of achieving the same results (fast zero-fee transactions)?
Thanks!

user5757: This will let you include your own transaction in the next block you find yourself, without paying a fee (but the fee would be paid to yourself).  However, if you are a solo miner, it will probably be an extremely long time before you find a block yourself.  It won't have any effect on whether other miners will accept your transaction without a fee.
There's no free lunch as far as getting fast transactions without a fee.
