339, or 393? Though it's a pretty basic comparator circuit that should work with many op-amps, your diagram says 393.
10uF might be overkill for the decoupling cap on your input. Also, electrolytic caps are polarized, and I think the polarity is backwards in that diagram. Try turning the cap around and/or a mylar cap (or something else unpolarized in the fraction-of-a-uF range) and see if that helps with limitations you're seeing.
