Revolutions only seem to become an issue with tensioning when you get over 100 kgf, at least that's what I found building my commuer wheelset (DT Rev 32 spoke, 3 cross disc wheel up front, DT Rev NDS, Comp DS, 32 spoke, 3 cross rear). My rear NDS spokes only reached ~90 kgf (offset rim) and a little chain lube dripped onto the nipples cured any twisting. The front wheel required me to hold some spokes with pliers to finally get the tension up without twisting the spokes. I only realized how much spoke twisting I had when I first tried to ride the front wheel. Putting the front brake on hard caused a lot of spoke pinging (a little unnerving).
