I wanted to compare the old TIP41/42 thing with the new board so I had to use 10R resistors. I am curious about the idea of adding capacitance to the Gate. when I add a cap to the gate pin, it still has to "operate" via the pin's lead since this voltage jump is generated from the chip's internal capacitance that is coupled to the drain/source voltage difference. I would guess there is a balance of this and that which could be found that might be just right. I would love to get right in there and disable this coupling. but it just is there.
