OSPF Failover with HA A-P

Hello,
I have been working on setting up 2 Fortigate 200D firewalls in Active/Passive HA mode and running OSPF. I have attached an image which shows my current test environment. I have run into an issue where I can get the failover to occur within 3 seconds on either the WAN or LAN, but not both.
I've configured OSPF with the following information:
firewall1 # show router ospf config router ospf set router-id 0.0.0.2 set spf-timers 2 4 config ospf-interface edit "Peering" set interface "wan1" set ip 10.0.4.2 set retransmit-interval 1 set dead-interval 1 set hello-multiplier 4 next end config network edit 3 set prefix 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 next end config redistribute "connected" set status enable end end
This is the HA configuration:
firewall1 # show system ha config system ha set group-name "hagroup" set mode a-p set hbdev "port15" 50 "port16" 50 set hb-interval 3 set hb-lost-threshold 2 set helo-holddown 5 set arps 10 set arps-interval 1 set session-pickup enable set ha-mgmt-status enable set ha-mgmt-interface "mgmt" set ha-uptime-diff-margin 1 set override disable set monitor "port2" "wan1" end
In the case where the OSPF "restart-mode graceful-restart" is enabled, the failover on the WAN side takes between 7 and 11 seconds. The LAN side takes 1-3 seconds. If I disable the restart-mode, these times change. The WAN side takes 1-3 seconds while the LAN side takes 9-11 seconds.
Are there any suggestions that would allow us to use HA with OSPF and lower these failover times?
