With this version you can set the execution cycle time quite easily because it runs in Periodic Tasks.vi.
Without actually tessting, I think one key to making this work well is a large enough moment of inertia. Actual testing should reveal what "enough" is.

I'm writing this on a moblie device, so I can't add my vi's but will edit this later today and add them when I'm at home.
I'm not a LabVIEW guru, so I can't say for sure, but I think you've captured the main idea. I do have one suggestion though: read Team 358's document Timing Is Everything. For a clean speed signal, consider replacing that Wait with a Timed Structure.
