You can use the transaction accelerators offered by other pools (won't name them here, feel free to PM me if you want the links) which will cause them to prioritize your transaction. They only require a fee of 10 Satoshis per byte, so if you don't need funds urgently, you can consolidate with a low fee every so often,"accelerate" your TX and keep most of your rewards.
Thanks DarkStar - I have PM'd you
