Gas cooktop slowness

About 10 years ago I installed a natural gas 4 burner cooktop. It works fine except the biggest burner takes forever to heat 3 qts of water.I still have my old electric cooktop hooked up (in a free standing cabinet), and with a 7" round burner it heats that much water in 1/5 that time.At installation, I installed a 1/2oz gas regulator on my cooktop and I am pretty sure the local utility company furnishs natural gas at 1/2 oz after the meter.Anyone have any idea how I can generate more heat from at least one of my gas burners? Without purchasing another unit.I have been looking for a 1500W electric burner that I can use to replace one of the gas burners my gas cooktop. I have the tools and time to do this. Else I could accept a 1200+Watt self standing electric burner...can't find one yet and I am unfamiliar with the induction types, which I understand do not work with Aluminum. in appreciation, thanks to one and all who may be able to provide assistance. . .chas
