But consider also that as you add capacitance, the impedance between the hot and neutral AC line at 60Hz, the mains frequency, will go down in direct proportion. I don't know what bad things might happen as Z gets extremely low, but it might be something you want to consider. For example, the Z of your 10uF capacitor at 60Hz is (only) 265 ohms. And of course, you REALLY don't want to use large value caps between hot and ground or neutral and ground, as I think you know.
