We normally use a limiter in the beamsplitter suspension filters while DRMI is trying to acquire. I've just edited the DRMI guardian to try not having this limiter on, to see if we saturate the coil drivers without it, and to see what the impact is on DRMI locking time.
I will post an update once we've had a few acquisitions like this.
If you have trouble with DRMI acquisition feel free to call me, or revert the changes. You can revert the changes by going to userapps isc/h1/guardian and typing svn revert ISC_DRMI.py
