bq51013A Stability issue when adding capacitor across Ilimit resistor?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ51013A

In an effort to reduce power dissipation, we are selecting the bq51013A Ilimit resistor such that our nominal load exceeds 40% of the Ilimit value. This keeps Vrect at its lowest level.

However when a short high current demand occurs, the current limit throttles it and Vout dips (no surprise). So, we paralleled the Ilimit resistor with a 0.1u capacitor to slow the response of the current limiter.  The question is whether this is advisable. Will this cause instability in the circuit?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
