A high engine tick over speed won't help either. You are effectively trying to mesh two large straight cut gears, one of which is rotating (layshaft) and one which is static (1st gear). Even after clutch depression the layshaft continues to spin for quite a few seconds until friction from the oil slows it down. If there is any clutch drag that will affect how quickly layshaft rotation is damped.
