Can you post your configuration?
It should start fast unless you start seeding from a very low level, say from [13-15]. How did you calculated the 10 tiles/s? With meta-tiles you will get multiple tiles for each WMS request.

mapproxy-seed has a --concurrency option (or -c). Try to increase that.

Limit the seed area with a shapefile, use --concurrency, use image/tiff as request_format, use new PIL version (see mapproxy blog), and use link_single_color_images=true.
