I found another question about the capacitor. NO - The capacitor does not charge slowly -- It is a greedy low impedance component used here to immediately eat a voltage spike from a "restrictive" power source like the LM317. However, It can be very unforgiving about "dumping its load" if unchecked in the circuit.
