Replace C1 with resistor to reduce fall time? (tps27082)

Ron,

We found rise time is good, just fall time too long.

In order to eliminate any possible parasitic capacitance of the load, we already paralleled resistors (as a shunt) to that and this approach did improved performance a lot.

Datasheet list tables of effect of R1,C1 on rise/fall performance.

If using C1=0 still not give satisfactory performance (several microseconds of fall delay as opposed to ns scale in datasheet), can we replace C1 by a resistor as a more aggressive step?

Would this plausibly further decrease particularly fall time because one might think of a resistor as of 0 farad, and in fact facilitates current flow somehow "proactively" conducts current? Also, if this approach is allowed, is there any caveat / precaution for this because it is not shown in the datasheet example?
