I didn't see a reply, perhaps due to the distracting, um, "discussion"
going on over on the efi-332 list among the experts, so I'll take a stab
at it, but I won't claim expertise w/ the circuit. My intuition is
you're
okay, I think the RC curve is set in the Heater control circuit, as the
start and ending voltages get closer together, the time it takes will be
shorter altho' I wouldn't expect 50% shorter. If you've put any 15 ohm
resistors across the 1 ohm, you might remove them one at a time and
retest.

BTW, congrats on having the guts to give it a go, glad to hear it.

regards,
