This is very encouraging. I think that what I will do after installing
the resistor, is try to take the stopping time as low as possible, at
highest RPM. Then I will back out just a bit. Almost instant stop, is a
very convenient thing.

Practically, the minimum braking time for the motor-VFD combination (with
suitable braking resistor) will be approximately twice the minimum starting
time that the VFD can drive the motor at. For the simple reason that it's
either going to be limited by motor torque or VFD capacity on the way down in
exactly the same way that it is on the way up.
