I'm one of the people working on my startup part-time. Since my day job has nothing to do with web development, it's a joy for me to spend several hours in the evening doing web dev/design. However, I am painfully aware of the (lack of) speed in my progress; as such, I am looking for a co-founder to make faster progress. If a funding opportunity came up, I'd definitely go full time at it.

I'm in a very similar situation. I'm working part-time on a startup that is close to prototype. I'm going alone also, and pondered how I'd ever find a co-founder. I've already found out the hard way a bad co-founder can slow things down, and when you're pulling all the weight, it just kills the whole spirit of the startup.

Adding a co-founder may not speed things up, it is just as likley to slow things down, as good co-founders are hard to find. That said the time to do it is when the rate of progress dropping won't bankrupt you, and you have a chance to recover.
