Ron, you can achieve the same result without dissipating all that power if you reduce the value of the electrolytic to ground. This cap is what is causing the slow response. What is the value in the 440?
With a smaller value cap, the response time can be made as small as you like, with a higher value resistor that won't consume so much power.
