I look at it differently.  I think of a current source driving the cap, so 
the time is ~CV/I.  In my case I'm driving at a bit under 1 mA (driven from 
an OTA used as a current switch) and the numbers look about right.  So I 
would look at what the current limit of your source is.  This may be where 
my thinking is wrong; you may have a lot more drive current than what I'm 
thinking of.
