CAN Talon and Bang Bang Controller

Has anyone had success with a bang bang controller with the CAN Talon speed controllers?

Our results were less than spectacular. The lag time for reading and setting the talons was noticeably slow so that you could tell even by listening that the motor was rotating over a large range of speed. I don't recall the graph values but the results were were over a large range.

We were also using an unloaded motor. The motor was on a bench with nothing attached to the shaft.

Any thoughts would be great to consider.

Thanks
