I have a clean room with compressor/furnace setup to regulate humidity. Is it better to do long or short heat bursts to lower humidity?

2 ton compressor on roof, 3 furnaces and valve actuated reheat coils within return ducts, old controller not controlling very well anymore. I have been able to manually control the system and get conditions close to normal (72 deg, 42% hum). System has exhaust for fumes with companion fresh air before cooling coils.

What would be the best/fastest way to lower humidity if far out of range (off all night) and then maintain the conditions the most efficient way possible? Is it better to keep pushing heat into the system at a small constant regulated rate or heavy heat for like 2 minutes then no heat for 10?

the system works fine if it was not for controller issues, 20 years old, does not automatically control very well, but still can manually control each component and can add on a secondary custom controller to handle operations. I have to stretch operation for a few more years at least before replacing entire system most likely

any information or insight is helpful, thx
