Mar 14, 2019 at 1:09 comment added calcium3000 I second the comment about R1 -- many high-speed switching circuits have gate resistors one or two orders of magnitude lower than 1K, especially with the high input capacitance.

Jul 30, 2018 at 17:19 comment added Peter Kapteyn Thanks for your answer. I tried using this FET with a lower input capacitance and gate charge: nteinc.com/specs/2300to2399/pdf/nte2371.pdf however it didn't change the result at all. The load is a SMPS driving a high power LED. I removed R1 and increased the value of R5 so that current would charge the FETs gate capacitance faster but to no avail.
