1tbsp/gal is really overkill - so measure and don't over do it. Use the table spoon per gallon ratio, It is harder to err on the weak side - and 1/2 tbs / gal is still more than enough.

A 1/2 cup to a gallon is really quick and really dirty

Shouldn't that be a 1/2 teaspoon?

I agree. 1/2 tsp is plenty. Just make sure you give it 15-30 minutes contact time with whatever you're sanitizing. Also, since chlorine evaporates with heat, it's best to make the solution with cold water, then rinse with hot.
